Great challenges need great settings – few are better than the Island’s coastal path, and 2,000 adventurers will take on the Isle of Wight over the May bank holiday weekend. It’s along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles, and up to Cowes at half way. 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, and with half & quarter Island options also – there’s an Isle of Wight Challenge for everyone!
