Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge

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 2026 - and go all out to push themselves further. You can pick your distance, with 10 miles, a quarter, half, 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 halfway stop. 

For Full Island challengers, it's on to the cliffs of 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. 

By taking on a challenge event you'll help us support over 350 babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell – helping them, and their families, to make the most of every day.
