Take on the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge and get ready for a spectacular end of season event in the ‘Garden of England’.
Head out from basecamp near Maidstone on an anticlockwise journey across the North Downs Way. Walk, jog, or run past Blue Bell Hill, then follow the River Medway to Mote Park at the halfway mark for a rest & relax with a picnic. It’s then along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, and back on the North Downs Way back to the showground finish line.
Join over 1,500 challengers as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way.
