Isle Of Wight Challenge

Date: 23 - 24 August 2024

You may have visited the famous festival here, you may have sailed around the Isle, but have you ever walk, jogged or ran it? If that takes your fancy then why not tackle the 100km coastal path, winding its way through areas of outstanding natural beauty, this event will push you to your limits but will leave you with an amazing sense of achievement!

Thames Path Challenge

Date: 13-14 September 2014

The popular Thames Path Challenge is back, this year with even more route options for runners and walkers. Beginning at Bishops Park by Putney Bridge, the trail follows England’s best known river throughout, with the Thames particularly mesmerising as the night falls.

Along with the full 100km challenge to Henley, there are also 50 and 25 km options available.

Please note that each event is split into a four stage course with major rest stops at every 25km, and check points at every 12.5km where drink and energy snacks, as well as meals are provided. All the events are very professionally organised with all routes being clearly signposted and including medical assistance.
