Event details

An Ultra Challenge in the ‘Garden of England.' This 50km loop starts and ends on the North Downs Way. You’ll walk to Blue Bell Hill, follow the River Medway and stop in Mote Park for lunch. The route then continues along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle and back to base camp.

Sign up as an individual or as a team and go at your own pace! Either way, you’ll get full support with plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, and a celebratory medal at the end.
