This ‘end of season’ 50km looped route covers some of the best of the Chilterns countryside. You can walk, jog, or run along historic trails and over rolling hills.
A basecamp near Maidstone, with parking & weekend camping options, the main 50km looped route heads anticlockwise around the Kent Downs – starting on the North Downs, around picturesque Aylesford, and following the River Medway. Along to the majestic Leeds Castle, then the North Downs Way back to the show ground finish line celebration.
It’s easily accessible; you’ll get full support; and with 25km & 10km options also available, there’s a Kent Downs Ultra Challenge® waiting for you!
Keeping you well fed & hydrated is key - snacks & drinks are included.
- Snacks & drink stops every 12.5 km
- Snacks – from the healthy to treats
- Picnic at 25 km (for 50km participants)
- Energy drinks
- All dietary requirements catered for
- Lighter options for ‘runners’
- Finishers hot meal 50 km (picnic for 25km & 10km)
There are experienced Doctors, Paramedics, First Aiders, Podiatrists, and Massage Teams at Rest Stops. There’re ‘Self Help’ areas with blister plasters, talc, Vaseline, and tape if you want to patch your own feet.
You’ll get a medal, finisher’s T-shirt, and a glass of fizz, before heading to a BBQ and a well earned rest.
