Isle of Wight Challenge 2024

About the event

Great challenges need great settings - and none are better than the Island's coastal path. 2,000 adventurers of all experience levels will walk, jog or run the Isle of Wight Challenge in 2024 - and go all out to push themselves further. You can pick your distance, with 10 mile, 25km, 52km, 82km and the full 106km challenge to choose from!

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 the cliffs of Ventnor, and back to the welcome Base Camp in Chale after an epic 106km journey.

You can walk, jog or run as an individual or a team, with full support and hospitality all the way.
