Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge 2026
Join Team Crisis at the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge and walk, jog or run to help end homelessness.
When: 10 October 2026
Where: Kent
Distance: 10km, 25km or 50km
Celebrate the end of the Ultra Challenge season with an unforgettable trek through the heart of the Kent countryside – and help Crisis support people experiencing homelessness.
Starting from basecamp near Maidstone, this 50km looped route follows a scenic stretch of the North Downs Way, taking in Blue Bell Hill, the tranquil River Medway, and a halfway stop at Mote Park for a well-deserved picnic. From there, the route continues along the Len Valley Walk, past the stunning Leeds Castle, before circling back to a buzzing finish line at the Kent Showground. With 25km & 10km options also available – there’s a challenge for everyone!
If you have your own place already and would like to fundraise for Crisis, we'd love to hear from you! You'll receive all the perks and support in the lead up to the big day as part of our team.
