Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge

“Nice trails in beautiful sceneries. Perfectly organised so that you can just enjoy walking. Helping hands and staff were so lovely, always with a smile and motivating us.” – Trustpilot review

Take on a challenge in our Heartland and push your boundaries along spectacular trails. The full route takes you northwest along the North Downs Way towards Blue Bell Hill, southwards through the charming village of Aylesford, and along the River Medway to Maidstone.

Continuing onto magnificent Leeds Castle, you’ll re-join the North Downs Way to guide you back to Detling to cross the finish line.

Shorter options are available too: the 25KM route splits off at Aylesford onto the Augustine Camino towards Boxley, where it joins the 10KM route before heading back to basecamp.
