Event overview
The Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge has a basecamp near Maidstone, with parking and weekend camping options.
The main 50km loop 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. It’s easily accessible; you’ll get full support and with 25km and 10km options also available - there’s a Kent Downs Ultra Challenge® waiting for you!
This event is part of Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge.
