An end of season Ultra Challenge in the ‘Garden of England’. Starting at a basecamp near Maidstone you can take this challenge on at your own pace; as a walk, a jog, or a run and fundraise for your local hospice charity!

The route continues along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle then follows the North Downs Way back to the Kent County showground finish line.
Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish.
