London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge
The London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge is a multi-distance trek and trail event held 29-30 May 2027. The route starts in Richmond-upon-Thames, crosses the North Downs and Surrey and Sussex countryside to Turners Hill, and the full 100 km course continues over the South Downs to the Brighton coastline.
Participants can choose from these distance options:
- 100 km
- ~50 km
- 25 km
- 10 km
- Sussex Trail Marathon and Brighton 25 km options
The event provides regular covered rest stops approximately every 12.5 km, with larger rest stops about every 25 km that include catering, seating, changing areas, and medical support. Meals are provided about every 25 km and snacks and drinks are available at the smaller stops. Medical teams include doctors, paramedics, podiatrists, and massage staff, plus a mobile emergency medical team and a 24 hour control room.
The route is marked with arrows and glow-sticks for night sections and is supported by GPS tracking via the event app. Timing scans at rest stops log progress. Camping is available near the midpoint for the two-day option, with showers and chill-out areas. Options also include solo start, Ultra March, Trailblazerz, and team entries. Finishers receive a medal, a T-shirt, and a glass of fizz, and an official challenge certificate can be downloaded afterwards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
