Take on the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge and get ready for a spectacular end-of-season event in the ‘Garden of England’. Join over 1,500 challengers walking, jogging, and running across the Kent Downs, whilst fundraising for charity and making a real difference.
Head out from basecamp near Maidstone on an anticlockwise journey across the North Downs Way. Walk, jog, or run past Blue Bell Hill, then follow the River Medway to Mote Park at the halfway mark for a rest & relax with a picnic. It’s then along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, and back on the North Downs Way to the showground finish line.
Date: Saturday 9 October 2026
Routes: 10km, 25km or 50km routes available
