About the challenge

Along the southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles and onwards in a full island loop. Choose from the full 100km challenge, 50km half-challenge, or even a 25km quarter distance option, with full hospitality & support, including food, drinks and medics

It's along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles and up to historic Cowes at the half way stop. For Full Island challengers it's on to historic Ventnor, and back to our welcome Base Camp in Chale after an epic 106km journey. You'll get full support & hospitality all the way, and with half & quarter Island options also-there's an Isle of Wight Challenge for everyone!

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
