Great challenges need great settings – and few are better than the Island’s stunning coastal path. Up to 2,000 adventurers will take on the Isle of Wight in May 2024 – all out to push themselves further. 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 historic 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 3/4, 1/2, & 1/4 Island Challenges + new ‘Cross Island’ & 10 mile ‘Medina Estuary’ options also available – there’s an Isle of Wight Challenge for everyone!
