An end of season Ultra Challenge in the ‘Garden of England’! Starting in Maidstone, the main 50km looped route heads anticlockwise around the Kent Downs, starting on the North Downs Way to Blue Bell Hill, around picturesque Aylesford and following the River Medway to Mote Park at halfway for a picnic. Then along to the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, to the North Downs Way back to the showground finish line and celebration.
All runners receive full event support, and with 25k and 10k options also available, there’s a Kent Downs Ultra Challenge waiting for you!
Registration fee and sponsorship target depends on the distance chosen.
