Event overview

The ‘original Ultra Challenge’ and once again over 2,000 adventurers will take on the capital-to-coast route to test their grit and determination over the weekend.

Richmond-Upon-Thames is the start, and it’s over the North Downs with wonderful Surrey and Sussex countryside to the halfway point at Turners Hill. The full 100km route heads over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes into view. You’ll get full support and hospitality all the way and with three-quarter, half, marathon and quarter-distance options also available – there’s a classic challenge here for everyone.

This event is part of London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
