Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge 2024

A NEW end of season Ultra Challenge in the ‘Garden of England’!

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 Kent Downs 50 Challenge for everyone!

Important information from the event organiser

All sponsorship goes directly to the Charity via your online fundraising page. At least 50% of the sponsorship target should be with the Charity 3 week prior to the Challenge. At this time, the Charity agrees to pay a fee for your place to the Organiser (similar to the Self Funding cost – or half of it for Mixed Funding as you’ve already covered half). Failure to meet the deadline may result in cancellation of your place by the charity. The remaining 50% and any extra, should be with your Charity by 4 weeks after the Challenge.

This event is organised by Action Challenge.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the events team events@thebraintumourcharity.org or call 01252 237867.
