Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge

Walk, jog or run the Kent Downs 50 Challenge on Saturday 11 October 2025. 

This is the end of season Ultra Challenge – in the ‘Garden of England’ – with a basecamp near Maidstone, parking and weekend camping options. The main 50km looped route 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.

With 25km and 10km challenge options also available there's a challenge here for everyone. And you can join as an individual or as a team of friends or family.
