England’s greatest river provides a fantastic backdrop for this unforgettable challenge.
Over 2,000 challengers will take on the main Thames Path Challenge – most will walk, many will jog, some will run and all have a special reason to push themselves.
The full 100km route heads upstream from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to Runnymede at 50 km, then on past wonderful scenery all the way to Henley. A ‘flat’ 100 km – but a real challenge!
With three quarter, half, quarter distance options also available – plus the separate 25km ‘Thames Bridges Trek’ and ‘The Moonlight 10 Walk’ through Central London as part of the weekend ‘festival’ – there’s a Thames Challenge for everyone!
Registration fee and sponsorship target depend on the distance chosen.
