More than 200 runners took part in the Race The Sun round the Island relay race, organised to raise funds for The Children’s Centre.

The event - sponsored by the Mann Made Group - involved teams of up to 10 aiming to run 98 miles around the Raad ny Foillan coastal path between sunrise and sunset.

The race was won by a team from the Department of Education - competing as Team Ed - in a time of 13 hours 18 minutes.

There was also a ‘Golden Shoe’ prize to the team which raised the most money for the charity and this went to the AXA squad which collected more than ?800 in sponsorship.
