Event overview
The ‘original’ Ultra Challenge! 2,000 or so adventurers will take on the capital to coast trails and test their grit and determination. A Richmond-Upon-Thames start, and it’s over the North Downs with wonderful Surrey and Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill.
The full 100km route heads over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes in to view. You’ll get full support all the way, and with half, quarter, Sussex Marathon and Brighton 25km options also available, there’s a bank holiday weekend challenge here for everyone!
