The race is now in its 19th year and lots of new runners are expected to take on the course – more than 600 runners took part last year.

New race director Michelle Bird will be taking over, and working with sponsors to offer a “family orientated event”.

Runners will receive a medal and an infamous Beast t-shirt, at the finish line at the race which takes place on Sunday, June 9.

In 2016 Donovan Blake of ITV News set the runners on their way and the Mini Beast Fun Run saw athletes ranging from three-years-old to 73 take part.

This year it is unknown who will be setting the runners off.

The Sutton Beast race takes place in Sutton in The Isle and has been running since 2000.
