The 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 2024 - and go all out to push themselves further. Pick your distance, with 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 half way 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 plus support including medics, marshals and massage.

You'll experience beautiful sandy beaches, stunning views and an undulating coastal path. You'll be fully supported on the day, with excellent food and rest stops during your trek. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.

As Alzheimer's Society are an official partner on this event, you get a 50% discount on the ‘Full Sponsorship’ registration fee when signing up to support us.
