Isle of Wight Challenge

Great challenges need great settings – and there’s none better than the Isle of Wight’s stunning coastal path. Whether you’re taking on the 106km full route, 50km or 25km route, the Isle of Wight Challenge includes spectacular coastlines, dramatic white cliffs and sandy beaches. You’ll pass the iconic Needles, visit historic Cowes & Ventnor and enjoy all that the Isle of Wight has to offer.

Each of the challengers will have their special reasons for taking it on, and all will experience a test of determination and stamina. It’s tough but achievable, and highly rewarding. So, join the Isle of Wight Challenge and make it a weekend to remember whilst raising much needed funds for local hospice care.

By walking, jogging or running the Isle of Wight Challenge this Spring, you’ll truly be making a difference to the lives of our patients, both in their homes and in our three inpatient units in Canterbury, Thanet and Ashford.

Whether it’s a 25km walk, a testing 50km jog or a 100km marathon, there’s something for all abilities. These challenges are perfect for people of any fitness level, with softer options for beginners and ‘ultra’ options for those really going for it – along with all those in between!

Ultra Challenge events are all-inclusive with an extremely high level of hospitality. They include regular rest stops approximately every 12.5km, with drinks and snacks, a fully signed route (so you won’t get lost) and hot meals to keep you going.

Passing by stunning scenery, meeting new friends and discovering hidden resilience and spirit, few can describe their elation at crossing the finish line.
