Thames Path Ultra Challenge

Follow the Thames Path for Dogs for Good and enjoy a route that winds through peaceful riverside stretches and lively city sections. Every kilometre you cover helps us support more people through the powerful connection they can build with a dog.

Take on the Thames Path Ultra Challenge on 11 or 12 September 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.

With a start at Putney Bridge, the full 100km route heads upstream to Henley along the famous Towpath. Challengers will then pass through Richmond, Hampton Court, Runnymede and Windsor, with some wonderful scenery to the riverside finish line.

Sign up as an individual or as a team and get full support all the way, with plenty of food and drink and camping options and transfers. 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!
