About this event
Take on the capital to coast London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge and join 2,000 Challengers on this iconic route. Complete distances from 25km up to the full 100km Challenge as a walk, jog, or run all whilst fundraising for an important cause.
Starting from Richmond-Upon-Thames you’ll head along the Thames Path, before trekking over the North Downs through wonderful Surrey and Sussex countryside. Relax and refresh at your halfway stop in Tulley’s Farm, before the full 100km route heads over the South Downs where the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes into view. There is nothing like that feeling of seeing the sea!
Join as an individual or as a team and get ready to experience full support every step of the way. Regular Rest Stops packed with food and drink, hot meals, fully marked routes, massage and medical care, marshals on course and walking the route with you, and of course an unbeatable community. There’s even camping and transfer options available so you can plan your whole weekend smoothly.
Join the UK’s #1 Series of treks and trail runs in 2027, and push yourself further with the London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge.
