The Challenge

2,000 or so adventurers will take on the Capital to Coast trails and test their grit & determination. You can join and take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run - and fundraise for your favourite charity! Richmond-Upon Thames is the start, and it’s over the North Downs with wonderful Surrey & Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill. The full 100km route heads over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes intoview. Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With half, quarter,Marathon&25km options also available – there’s bank holiday weekend challenge here for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks & trail challenges.
