Wight Lines - Hip-Hop Themed Coastal Run
Wight Lines is our rap-tastic, hip-hop themed event set on the coastal path at Milford on Sea, with fabulous views of the Isle of Wight, The Needles & Sturt Pond Nature Reserve. This is a mixed terrain event suitable for all abilities. Wight Lines consists of an 'out and back' route along the coast, offering participants the opportunity to choose their own distance, from 5K to ultra-marathon. Wight Lines? Do it, baby!
We offer flexible 'hip n hop' 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. Please feel free to embrace the hip-hop theme ('bling' your own!), we'll supply a banging soundtrack & each participant will receive a hip-hop/Wu-Tang/Isle of Wight inspired mash-up medal.
We will have our Run DMC (aid) station at the start/finish of each lap, offering a wide range of sweet & savoury snacks & drinks. Please note we are cupless & do not provide plastic cups; please bring your own.
