Isle of Wight Ultra Challenge 2025
A challenge event you can take on at your pace. Join us for the Isle of Wight Challenge and take on the island’s coastal path.
2,000 adventurers of all experience levels will walk, jog or run a distance of their choice, along a fully signed route with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for The Brain Tumour Charity.
It’s along the spectacular southern cliffs, past the iconic Needles and up to historic Cowes at the half way 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. It will test spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 50km, 25km and 10km challenge options also available – there’s a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team of friends / family.
You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable! As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.

Important information from the event organiser
All sponsorship goes directly to the Charity via your online fundraising page. At least 50% of the sponsorship target should be with the Charity 3 week prior to the Challenge. At this time, the Charity agrees to pay a fee for your place to the Organiser (similar to the Self Funding cost – or half of it for Mixed Funding as you’ve already covered half). Failure to meet the deadline may result in cancellation of your place by the charity. The remaining 50% and any extra, should be with your Charity by 4 weeks after the Challenge.
This event is organised by Action Challenge.
