The Challenge

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The Kent Downs 50 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 the Alzheimer's Society.


This is the end of season Ultra Challenge – in the ‘Garden of England’ – with a basecamp near Maidstone, parking & 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. It will test spirit & determination but is
totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. 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 / 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.
