IOW Ultra Challenge 2026

Saturday 2 - Sunday 3 May 2026

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 pace as a walk, jog, or run - and fundraise for your favourite charity!

It’s along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the Needles, and up to historic Cowes. For Full Island challengers it’s on to Ventnor, and back to our welcome basecamp in Chale after an epic journey!

Join as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping& transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish.

With distance options ranging from the full 106km, down to the ‘Medina 10 mile’ – there’s an Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks & trail challenges.
