Kent Downs Challenge

Your challenge your way join us.

Choose from the full 50km half challenge, a 25km quarter, or even a 10km distance.

An end of season Ultra Challenge®– in the ‘Garden of England’. Basecamp is near Maidstone, with parking & weekend camping options, the main 50km looped route heads anticlockwise around the Kent Downs; on the North Downs Way to Blue Bell Hill, and following the River Medway to Mote Park at halfway for a picnic. Along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, then back to the show-ground finish line and celebration. You’ll get full support; and with 25km & 10km options also available, there’s a Kent Downs Ultra Challenge® waiting for you!
