Details
This is the Isle of Man like you've never experienced it before. A 50 mile ultra marathon from sunrise to sunset, taking in some of the island's most spectacular scenery.
Starting at 4:44 AM part way along the heritage trail, you'll head west into Peel before picking up the classic Race the Sun route. From there, the course loops down through the south of the island, hugging the coast and climbing through hills and valleys, before returning to Douglas — all before the sun sets at 21:53.
You'll have 17 hours and 9 minutes to complete the full route. No teams, no relays. Just you, the island, and the challenge of beating the sun back to the finish. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply want to see what you're capable of, this ultra is all about pushing your limits and soaking up everything the island has to offer.
Every mile you run supports Hospice Isle of Man, helping them continue their incredible work in the local community. We ask that all funds raised go directly to the Hospice. One sunrise. One sunset. One unforgettable day.
