It’s along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles, and up to historic Cowes.
For Full Island challengers, it’s on to historic Ventnor, and back to the welcoming basecamp in Chale after an epic 106km journey. You’ll get full support and hospitality all the way, and with three-quarter, half and quarter Island Challenges - plus the new and scenic Southern 50 Loop and 10-mile Cowes Medina Estuary options also available – there’s an Isle of Wight Challenge for everyone!
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.

A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.

A fabulous stretch of the Island’s coastline setting out on the Sunday morning from Culver Down, perched high up above the bay with fantastic views. It’s through the resorts of Sandown, Shanklin, and Ventnor (a rest stop here – with snacks and drinks) – before finishing 25km later at the main basecamp in Chale where a celebration, medal and hot meal awaits.

The island is spectacular, the camaraderie between participants like no other event I’ve ever done!
