Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge 2026

Nothing beats a coastal path on a fresh spring day!

Great challenges need great settings, and up to 2,000 adventurers will tackle the Isle of Wight’s stunning coastal path over the bank holiday weekend. Take it on at your own pace as a walk, jog, or run, and fundraise for the Macular Society!

The route follows the spectacular southern cliffs, past the Needles, and up to historic Cowes. Full Island challengers continue on to Ventnor before returning to our welcome basecamp in Chale after an epic journey.

Sign up as an individual or as part of a team, you’ll receive full support all the way, with plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, t-shirt, and a celebration finish.

With distances ranging from the full 106km down to the ‘Medina 10 mile,’ there’s an Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge for everyone!

This event is part of the Ultra Challenge Series: 21 amazing events where you can walk, jog, or run your chosen distance in some of the UK’s most iconic locations. Other fundraising options are available, see the organiser’s website for details.
