Victories
Winning the Parish Walk is a remarkable feat, a much coveted achievement and is arguably the jewel in the crown of Manx sporting accolades.
At the forefront of these winners are two remarkable individuals who have won their races six times: John Cannell and Sue Biggart.
The table below details the men and ladies champions who have won the event each year since 1960 with the exception of 1965, 1966 and 2020 when no events took place.
There are some familiar names and some you may have never have heard of but each of them has triumphed and achieved the ultimate goal of winning Isle of Man Parish Walk Cup (men) or Boundary Harriers Cup (ladies).
