About the Isle of Wight Marathon

Organized by Ryde Harriers, the Isle of Wight Marathon is a long-standing British club race rather than a mass-city event. Ferry travel and island scenery add to its destination character.

Course

The road course rolls through villages and rural lanes in the eastern part of the island. Frequent climbs and descents reward conservative pacing and strong road-running legs.

Race-day weather

Early October can be mild, breezy, and showery. Exposed island roads may feel cool even when sheltered village sections are comfortable.
