London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge
The event is a supported trail challenge running from Richmond upon Thames to the Brighton coastline. Multiple route lengths are offered so participants can walk, jog, or run according to their chosen distance.
Distances available include:
- 100 km full route from Richmond to Brighton
- ~50 km half route finishing near the midway campsite
- 25 km route option
- Sussex Trail Marathon marathon distance option
- 10 km shorter option
The route goes over the North Downs through Surrey and Sussex countryside to Turners Hill at approximately the halfway point. The full 100 km course continues over the South Downs before reaching Brighton.
Support and logistics include marquee rest stops approximately every 12.5 km with larger stops about every 25 km, catering at meal points, medical staff, podiatrists, and massage teams. The route is fully signed with arrows and glow sticks for night sections, and an event app provides Google route maps and GPS tracking. A timing system scans participants at rest stops and logs progress.
Camping is provided near the halfway point with showers and chill out areas for multi day options. Shuttle buses and transfers serve local train stations and key venues. Finishers receive a medal, a finisher T shirt, a finishers meal, and a glass of fizz. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
