A fabulous stretch of the Island’s Coastal Path guides you via sandy beaches and picturesque old villages. You’ll trek through the resorts of Sandown, Shanklin, and Ventnor on a tough challenge on the wonderful east coast of this terrific Island!
You need to create your fundraising page on JustGiving within 48 hours of registering for your challenge. Then you can start your fundraising by sharing your page online with your friends and family.
As long as you’re all fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on JustGiving. You will still have to reach the combined total fundraising amount as the target is per person, not per team.
Speak to your charity about any worries. They are the experts and will offer you support, materials and inspiration throughout.
Remember only 50% of the target has to be reached 3 weeks before the challenge meaning you’ve got time after the challenge to impress everyone with your achievement and keep on fundraising.
If you don’t reach the fundraising target, there are alternative options. You can always change to a self-funded place and still take part in the challenge.
Once you've got your charity place, your details will be passed to the charity and you will hear from them within 14 days.
The island is spectacular, the camaraderie between participants like no other event I’ve ever done!
A brilliantly organised event - I would highly recommend this to anyone. BUT be prepared it is tougher than you think!
