Your challenge, your way

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The North 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 and hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for SPEAR.

Join us in the North Downs with a fabulous challenge setting out from a Guildford basecamp. Take in some of the best of the Surrey hills, the North Downs Way, and the surrounding countryside. A route with real variety and some wonderful scenery and views – and easily accessible from London – there’s a North Downs 50 Challenge for everyone! It will test spirit and determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 50km, 25km and 10km challenge options 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.
