Head into the Kent Downs for Dogs for Good and discover big skies, open chalkland and quiet trails that reward every step. By taking part, you're helping more people build confidence and independence through their bond with a dog.
Take on the Kent Downs 50 Ultra Challenge on Saturday 9 October 2027.
With different distance options available, take it on at your own pace as you walk, jog or run – and fundraise for Dogs for Good.
Mark the end of 2027's Ultra Challenge events in the 'Garden of England'. This 50km looped route heads anti-clockwise on the North Downs Way to Blue Bell Hill, following the River Medway to Mote Park for a halfway point picnic. After that it's along the Len Valley Walk to the majestic Leeds Castle, before heading through the North Downs Way back to the showground finish line.
Sign up as an individual or as a team and get full support all the way, with plenty of food and drink. All routes are fully marked, and there'll be massage and medical care available and marshals walking the route with you. Finish with a great sense of achievement and a celebration!
