Join us on the North Downs for this fabulous challenge, setting out from our Guildford base camp. Choose your distance and walk, jog or run the full looped 50km route, a 25km half challenge, or the gentler Guildford 10km.
Take in the best of the Surrey Hills, the North Downs Way and the surrounding countryside. The route boasts real variety with wonderful scenery and views, and is easily accessible from London. There’s a North Downs 50 Challenge for everyone!
You’ll receive great hospitality all the way, including free food and drink at regular rest stops along a signed route, plus support from medics, marshals and massage therapists. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a warm welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, a t-shirt and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.
You may have to dig deep at times – but you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable!
