106 km & 2,000 metres of climb (clockwise route), the Full Challenge is a tough one! There’s a Full 2 Day ‘Daylight’ option, ‘half’ Island & ‘quarter’ Island options also. In 2024 there’s an Isle of Wight Challenge waiting for you!
Our Chale start looks over the dramatic coastline to the west, and the route follows the coast with ups & downs around past the ‘Needles’. Then it’s northwards to the halfway in historic Cowes – a welcome stop where a hot meal & a massage awaits. We head around to Ryde, Bembridge, and another major rest stop at Culver Down for some hot food – before the final stretch back into Chale. An epic Challenge!
