Chiltern 50 Ultra Challenge

25 September 2027

Participants in the Chiltern 50 Walk

Take on the Chiltern 50 Ultra Challenge and enjoy a stunning route through some of England’s finest countryside. Join over 1,000 Challengers taking on the distance as a walk, jog, or run.

Set out from basecamp in Henly and head north along historic trails and across rolling hills with fantastic views. You’ll travel on Shakespeare’s Way, the Chiltern Way, and the Icknield Way and through nature reserves known for deer and other classic English wildlife. Easily accessible from London, this is the perfect scenic day out on the trails for Challengers of all abilities.
