London 2 Brighton
Ultra Challenge®

23-24 May 2026

The ‘original’ Ultra Challenge! 2,000 or so adventurers will take on the Capital to Coast trails and test their grit & determination. Richmond-Upon-Thames is the start for most, 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 in to view. You’ll get full support & hospitality all the way – and with half, quarter, Sussex Marathon & Brighton 25km loop options also available – there’s a classic bank holiday weekend challenge here for everyone!

The Ultra Challenge Experience

Endurance events for a wide range of fitness & ages – and the UK’s #1 series of treks & trail runs. Choose your Challenge – do it at your pace, and there’re 18 events in the Series. Our support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors & camaraderie. There’re marquee rest stops, lots of food & drink, medical & massage teams, with a fully signed route & GPS tracking to guide you. A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement, and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, and up for more of life’s real challenges!

Good preparation & smart planning are key, and from the moment you sign up you’ll have access to our Challenge App – with training guides, optional training walks, maps, online forums, and the latest news & updates.

Rest Stops every ~12.5 km with ‘major’ ones every ~25 km, and are much more than the shaky gazebo with water that you see on some events. We’ve marquee cover, large medical & welfare tents, catering services, seating areas for recovery, changing rooms, and a friendly welcome!

00’s of pink arrows + glow-sticks (at night) mark the route, and with Google route maps in the App you won’t get lost on an Ultra Challenge®!

Our Timing System scans you at rest stops, with your progress logged and monitored by our Control Room.

For 2025 – we’ve upgraded our system, with an APP for your mobile with GPS Tracking – which you can share in ‘real time’ with family & friends – without draining your phone’s battery – and you also get all the info on the route lying ahead!

Keeping you well fed & hydrated is key. We pride ourselves on the quantity & quality of our catering, and whichever distance you are on – meals, snacks & drinks are included – so no need to carry much!

  • Snacks & drink stops every 12.5 km
  • Snacks – from the healthy to treats
  • Meals / food every 25 km
  • Energy drinks
  • All dietary requirements catered for
  • Lighter options for ‘runners’
  • Finishers meal

We generally have a ~50 km campsite for rest & sleep if you’re on the 2 day ‘Daylight’ 100 km option, or if you finish / start a 50 km ‘half’ Challenge. Book an inclusive package or ‘pitch your own’ – there’re showers and chill out areas.

We’ve experienced Doctors, Paramedics, First Aiders, Podiatrists, and Massage Teams at Rest Stops. There’re ‘Self Help’ areas with blister plasters, talc, Vaseline, and tape if you want to patch your own feet. Our mobile Emergency Medical Teams are only a phone call away, via our 24 hour Control Room

We don’t want you to forget that finish-line moment – our Cheer Squad will ensure you won’t! You’ll get a medal, finisher’s T-shirt, and a glass of fizz, before heading to a BBQ and a well earned rest. Download your official Challenge certificate when you’re ready.

There’re shuttles to local train stations for onward travel, and most finish lines have parking so supporters can meet you. We’ve bus ‘transfers’ to / back to key venues (eg the start) – and check out the ‘Bookable Extras’ for details of all transport options.

Looking for a great event for your team without all the hassle, risk, or costs of organising it? These events are the PERFECT solution – and we had over 400 company teams joining us in 2025.

Your Team will be energised, exercised, bonding & motivated on a fun, accessible, safe, high quality outdoors event. With optional hospitality packages available – make an Ultra Challenge® your company’s special event – maybe supporting your ‘charity of the year’.

JOIN AN ULTRA MARCH®

An Ultra March® is about WALKING at a brisk & consistent pace with like minded challengers to achieve it – a bit like a march! – but taking in the great rest stops & services of an Ultra Challenge!

RULES & TIMINGS

Over & above the general Ultra Challenge Rules – with an Ultra March® it’s:

  • STRICTLY WALKING ONLY (no jogging / running)
  • Stage times will be checked.
  • You must complete 100km in sub 24 hours – or 50km is sub 12 hours to qualify for exclusive medal.
  • If you are outside of the time target you still celebrate with a conventional Ultra Challenge medal / certificate.
  • The ‘on target’ pace will be set out in the challenge App (ie the ideal rest stop latest exit times)
  • And there will certainly be a ‘Chief Marcher’ in hi-viz who will be on the correct pace. Stay with – or in front of the Chief – and you’ll get your Ultra March® medal!
  • You will be able to opt into the Ultra March Category on the Registration Form for the 100km 0r 50km option (if available). So follow the normal Sign Up links.
  • The Ultra March® start time is 8.30am (all start together as big group)!
