We’re heading to the North Downs with a fabulous challenge setting out from our Guilford basecamp.

Choose your distance, and walk, jog or run the full looped 50km route, a 25km half challenge, or even the Guildford 10km. Take in some of the best of the Surrey hills, the North Downs Way, and the surrounding countryside. A route with real variety and some wonderful scenery & views – and easily accessible from London – there’s a North Downs 50 Challenge for everyone!

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
