Join over 1,500 Challengers walking, jogging, and running across the Kent Downs, whilst fundraising for Farleigh Hospice and making a real difference.
Head out from basecamp near Maidstone on an anticlockwise journey across the North Downs Way. Walk, jog, or run past Blue Bell Hill, then follow the River Medway to Mote Park at the halfway mark for a rest and relax with a picnic. It’s then along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, and back on the North Downs Way back to the showground finish line.
Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way. Regular rest stops packed with food and drink, hot meals, fully marked routes, massage and medicalcare, marshals on course and walking the route with you, and of course an unbeatable community. There are even camping and transfer options available so you can plan your whole weekend smoothly.
Join the UK’s #1 Series of treks and trail runs in 2027, and push yourself further with the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge.
Early bird offer – 50% off any registration fee until 31 August
