Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge
Walk, jog, or run the Isle of Wight’s coastal path. The route takes you along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles, and up to historic Cowes at the halfway 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. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, a t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
As Refuge is an official partner of this event, you get a 25% discount on the ‘Full Sponsorship’ registration fee when signing up to support us. Remember to select Refuge as your chosen charity and head to the Ultra Challenge page to find out full details of prices and to sign up.
