Kent Downs 50 Challenge 2025

Participants at the Kent Downs

The end-of-season challenge in the "Garden of England".

The basecamp is near Maidstone, with parking and 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.

With 50km, 25km, and 10km challenge options available, there's a challenge for everyone. You can join as an individual or as a team.
