About 2025 London 2 Brighton Challenge

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The London 2 Brighton Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for Cancer Research UK.

Join 2,000 adventurers of all experience levels & ages and take on a classic capital to coast route. Test your grit over the Bank Holiday weekend. A Richmond start in Old Deer Park - then the North Downs and wonderful Surrey & Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill. The full challenge heads up and over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes in to view. It’s a test of spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 75km, 50km, and 25km challenge options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team of friends / family.

You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable! As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement. As Cancer Research UK are an official partner on this event, you get a 50% discount on the ‘Full Sponsorship’ registration fee when signing up to support us
