A new end-of-season Ultra Challenge – in the ‘Garden of England' – with a basecamp near Maidstone, parking & 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 & views – and easily accessible from London – there's a North Downs 50 Challenge for everyone! 

By taking on a challenge event you'll help us support over 350 babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell – helping them, and their families, to make the most of every day.
