On 16th July 21 starting in East Cowes, they will take on a route that circumnavigates the island in a clockwise direction taking in the full stunning beauty of this majestic, yet deceptively rugged, island. As the route heads inland, they'll face several climbs as they cross the central downs of the island before heading back to the coast for stunning views across the cliffs.

• Covering a distance of over 100km (105km in total).

• Completing an entire loop of the island.

• Ascending over 1400m across the whole route.

Thank you for your support.
