About this event
Epic Challenges need stunning settings, and the Isle of Wight’s stunning coastal path provides just that for over 1,500 Challengers. Make your bank holiday weekend special with this iconic Challenge, all with fundraising and making a real difference.
You’ll set out from Chale basecamp along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the Needles, and up to charming Cowes. For Full Island Challengers it’s on to Ventnor, and back to our basecamp for your finish line after an epic journey with an astonishing sense of achievement.
Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way. Regular Rest Stops packed with food & drink, hot meals, fully marked routes, massage and medical care, marshals on course and walking the route with you, and of course an unbeatable community. There’s even camping & transfer options available so you can plan your whole weekend smoothly.
With distance options from the full 107km to 10 miles, there’s an Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge for everyone! Join the UK’s #1 Series of treks and trail runs in 2027, and push yourself further with the Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge.
