London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge
The London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge runs on 23-24 May 2026 with an additional date on 29-30 May 2027. It follows the Capital to Coast trails from a Richmond-Upon-Thames start across the North Downs through Surrey and Sussex countryside, reaching Turners Hill about halfway. The full 100 km route continues over the South Downs to the Brighton coastline.
Distance options include:
- 100 km
- 50 km
- 25 km
- Sussex Trail Marathon
- Brighton 25 km
Event support and logistics are provided throughout the route. There are covered rest stops roughly every 12.5 km with major stops every 25 km; catering includes snacks and meals, energy drinks, and options for dietary requirements. Medical, paramedic, podiatry, and massage teams operate at rest stops and via mobile emergency teams monitored by a 24 hour control room. The route is fully signed with pink arrows and glow sticks at night, and an app offers GPS tracking and route maps. Timing scans record progress at rest stops.
Additional services noted for the event include camping packages, shuttle buses and transfers to local stations, finisher items such as a medal and T shirt, and provisions for corporate teams. A two day option with a campsite near the halfway point is available for some participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
