A long-distance ultra trail adventure across some of the Isle of Wight’s most rugged and beautiful landscapes. The Wight Ultra is designed to combine challenge, atmosphere and exploration, taking runners through coastal trails, downland ridges, woodland tracks and remote sections of the Island trail network.

Built around the Wild Isle Events philosophy of authentic endurance experiences, the event aims to feel adventurous, welcoming and deeply connected to the landscape. Participants can expect changing terrain, exposed sections, mud, weather, long climbs and unforgettable views — with a strong focus on atmosphere, participant support and shared trail culture throughout the journey.

The Wight Ultra is not designed to be overly polished or over-controlled. It is intended to feel like a real trail adventure — professionally organised, operationally supported and environmentally respectful, while still preserving the challenge, unpredictability and emotional highs and lows that make ultra running meaningful.

Expect welcoming checkpoints, supportive volunteers, live timing, shared camp energy and a community built around endurance, resilience and exploration. Whether chasing a finish time or simply aiming to keep moving forward, every participant remains part of the story.
