Wight Lines
Wight Lines is a hip-hop themed running event on the coastal path at Milford on Sea. The course is mixed terrain and runs out and back along the coast, with views of the Isle of Wight, The Needles and Sturt Pond Nature Reserve.
- Choose distance from 5K up to ultra-marathon
Laps are 5.3 km (3.28 miles) each and follow an out and back route. Participants may choose how many laps to complete. Number pick-up takes place on the day at race registration. Each participant receives a hip-hop, Wu-Tang and Isle of Wight inspired mash-up medal and a soundtrack is provided during the event.
A Run DMC aid station is located at the start and finish of each lap and offers a range of sweet and savoury snacks and drinks. The event is cupless so participants should bring their own cup. Bag drop is available at race HQ (pink gazebo) and public toilets are provided at the start and finish area and along the route.
Local facilities and attractions near the event include Hurst Road play park, The Kiosk, Needles Eye Cafe, The Lighthouse, Milford-on-Sea beach, Sturt Pond bird hide, Hurst Castle, and nearby pubs such as The Wash House and The Beach House.
The event is licensed by the TRA and will be run under UKA rules; distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under. Flexible "hip n hop" start times are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
