Paul Atherton has retained his Parish Walk crown taking victory again for the second time.

Atherton crossed the finish line in 15 hours, 27 minutes and 15 seconds, not quite beating his 2021 performance of 15 hours 23 minutes 40 seconds.

During the latter phases of the race, Atherton was under pressure from the 2019 Champion Liam Parker who was in second place, with Richard Gerrard in third.

After Lonan, Gerrard was putting serious pressure on Parker and was closing the gap. It was on the final mile of Douglas Prom that Gerrard made his move and took Parker. He crossed the finish line 28 seconds ahead, relegating Parker to third.

The Ladies Winner was once again Samantha Bowden, coming home at 1:20am, a time of 17 hours 20 minutes 26 seconds.
