We’re back on the North Downs with a fabulous challenge setting out from our Guilford basecamp, and a looped 50 km route which takes 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 & fabulous views out to the south – and easily accessible from London! You’ll get full support & hospitality, and with 25 km & 10 km options also available, and optional University style accommodation at basecamp – there’s a North Downs Ultra Challenge for you in 2024!
