Popular 15-mile charity walk postponed due to severe weather forecast
The highly anticipated 'Castle to Castle' challenge has been postponed just hours before participants were set to embark on a scenic 15-mile walk or run across the Isle of Man. The charity event, organised by Isle Listen, was scheduled to take place on Sunday, 29 March 2026, starting from Peel Castle and finishing at Castle Rushen.
Isle Listen made the difficult decision to reschedule after forecasted adverse weather conditions made it impossible for key event partners to operate safely together. The charity acknowledged the complexity of postponing at such short notice, with substantial administration required to arrange a new date and manage participant registrations.
Registered participants can expect updates from Tuesday, 31 March, when Isle Listen hopes to confirm a new date for the challenge. The charity will be in contact with details about 'opportunities to carry over or cancel registration', giving walkers and runners flexibility as alternative arrangements are made.
Those planning to attempt the iconic route between these two historic castles should keep an eye on their inbox in the coming days for further announcements. This beloved charity challenge remains a firm fixture on the Isle of Man's events calendar, and rescheduling is expected to happen as soon as conditions permit.
