Rolling road closures for 85-mile Parish Walk
BBCMotorists have been warned to expect disruption on several key routes as more than 1,100 people take on the Isle of Man's Parish Walk.
Competitors set off from the National Sport Centre in Douglas at 08:00 BST on Saturday aiming to complete the 85-mile (137km) route within 24 hours.
Rolling road closures will see the A1 between Union Mills to Crosby shut to all traffic between 08:20 and 10:30, with Derby Road in Peel closed from 12:30 to 18:30.
Other closures and one way systems along the course will be signposted for both walkers and drivers.
Starting at the turn of the 20th Century as a competition to see who could walk the furthest, the first organised walk took place in 1913.
A formal route set in the 1960s sees those taking part cover a course that visits the churches of the island's 17 parishes.
The rolling closures reflect a requirement for competitors to check in at each location by a specific time.
The competition will see the closure of Cleaynagh Road, which runs between Braaid Crossroads and the A5 from 09:00 to 11:30, and the Orrisdale Road near the Blackboards on the A5 shut between 09:30 and 13:30.
A raft of other roads will temporarily be one-way to allow them to be used by support teams for parking and assisting walkers.
They include the Sloc, Church Street in Peel and the route between Jurby and Bride Road.
Motorists have also been reminded of several zones where stopping is not permitted, such as from Braddan Bridge to Union Mills and at the Church Road junction in Lonan when leaving Laxey.
Walkers must cross the finish line at the War Memorial on Harris Promenade in Douglas within the 24-hour competition period to officially register as having completed the walk.
The current record holder is Richard Gerrard, who completed the course in 14 hours, 40 minutes in 2015.
