Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge
An end of season Ultra Challenge – in the ‘Garden of England’ – with a basecamp near Maidstone, parking and weekend camping options. 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.
Along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, then the North Downs Way back to the showground finish line and celebration. Choose from the full 50km loop route, a 25km ‘half challenge’ or a 10km Maidstone Loop. All with real variety and some wonderful scenery and views – and easily accessible from London – there’s a North Downs 50 Challenge for everyone!
You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way and the journey will be unforgettable! As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.
