Route information
This Kent-based 50-mile ultra marathon promises incredible views as well as a physical challenge. Starting from Blue Bell Hill Cricket Ground in Chatham, Kent, you'll explore some of Kent's most renowned trails - the North Downs Way, Wealdway and Greensand Way - and visit picturesque villages including Hollingbourne, Chart Sutton and West Peckham, with other highlights of Leeds Castle and the Coldrum Long Barrow.
After leaving Blue Bell Hill, runners will head along the North Downs Way, passing through Detling, Hollingbourne and Thurnham Castle, with amazing views of the Kent Weald as you run. You'll then continue to the historic village of Sutton Valence, after which you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the Grade I-listed Leeds Castle.
Then the route heads on to the Greensand Way, with an 8-mile stretch bringing you to the River Medway at Yalding, surrounded by beautiful apple orchards. You'll then transition on to the Wealdway section of the route, with 12.5 miles heading through charming villages and passing the Coldrum Long Barrow stones.
The final leg features 7.5 miles of the North Downs Way and culminates in a 2-mile ascent up Blue Bell Hill to finish.
The route is mainly on shared trails, so runners must be considerate of other users of the path. Some parts of the route cross busy roads or follow country lanes, so runners must be aware of any traffic.

Get full directionsBy Car
Blue Bell Hill is a quiet village with limited parking at the cricket ground Race HQ and surrounding area. To limit the number of cars in the village, runners are encouraged to either be dropped off at the Race HQ or seek to car share with fellow runners. The organiser will help to co-ordinate this before the race.
If you intend to leave your car parked for the duration of the race, then please ensure this is only in designated free parking spaces in the village. Do not park in front of resident’s properties or on any double yellow lines around the village. Under no circumstances should runners or spectators park cars on the section of common road beyond the Blue Bell Hill picnic site. This is a very tight single-access road which needs to be always clear for emergency access.
The race organisers are working with local venues to secure designated parking areas and will provide runners with further details before the event.
By Public Transport
Aylesford, Chatham, Maidstone East and Rochester train stations are all within 5 miles / 15 minutes’ drive from the race HQ and offer trains to London and throughout the county.
