Along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, then back to the show-ground finish line and celebration. Full support is provided, and with 25km & 10km options also available, there’s a Kent Downs Ultra Challenge waiting for you! The Ultra Challenge Series offers endurance events for a wide range of fitness & ages, with 20 events in the Series.
