Wight Riot consists of an 'out and back' route along the coast, offering participants the opportunity to choose their own distance, from 5K to ultra-marathon. 

We offer flexible start times between 8am and 9.30am, just turn up when you're ready to run. All runners to finish by 3pm (maximum 7 hours). Number pick-up is on the day at race registration before you start the event. We'll supply a banging soundtrack & each participant will receive a medal.
