Over 300 runners will be tackling the hills of West Wight on Sunday 4th December in the annual West Wight Chilly Hilly ten-mile multi terrain race, raising funds for West Wight Sports and Community Centre.
Now in it’s eighth year, the race, sponsored by local running store Love Running in Newport, has become a favourite way to kick off the festive season with local and mainland runners alike, making their way around the challenging ten-mile loop, which takes in iconic views from Tennyson Down, the Needles, Headon Warren and an exhilarating sea wall sprint between Totland and Colwell Bays.
Junior Fancy Dress Fun Run
Children will have the chance to take place in a Junior Fancy Dress Fun Run at 10am at the Centre, with a Tapnell Farm family ticket prize for the best fancy dress.
From 11am, supporters will be able to track runners on big screens in the Sports Hall, where there will be children’s soft play and face painting.
At the finish line
At the finish, runners will be awarded a festive-themed sustainable medal, along with a mince pie provided by The Cooperative Food, Freshwater, and a cup of mulled wine to warm them up.
