Pilgrim Challenge

A two-day, 66-mile ultra marathon over the legendary North Downs Way – now in its 13th year!

Run, jog or walk your way across the impressive North Downs Way – firmly established as one of our most popular events. Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims travelling to Canterbury as you pass through stunning landscapes steeped in history. The race soaks up ancient countryside, picturesque villages and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The North Downs National Trail has excellent markings in the form of signposts or post discs. In addition, you will be given a route card and map, designed to help on any tricky sections. We recommend familiarising yourself with the route before the start of the race.
