Isle of Wight Marathon

The Isle of Wight Marathon has been run continuously since 1957, making it the longest running (and one of the first to be held) in the U.K. It features a brand new course (first used 2013) of one lap featuring the much quieter roads on the west of the island. These are the undulating town and rural roads through Cowes, Gurnard, Rew Street, Porchfield, Shalfleet, Yarmouth, Afton, Willmingham, Thorley, Wellow, Shalfleet, Porchfield, Northwood, Cowes. Marker boards will be at each mile point. The course is not suitable for wheelchairs.
