About the Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge

Great challenges need great settings - and none are better than the Isle of Wight's coastal path. 2,000 adventurers of all experience levels will walk, jog or run the Isle of Wight Challenge in 2025.

You can pick your distance, with 10 miles, 25k, 50k, 82k and 106k to choose from!

The route goes along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles and up to historic Cowes. For Full Island challengers, you'll cover the cliffs of Ventnor, and get back to base camp in Chale after an epic 106k journey.

You can walk, jog or run as an individual or a team.
