Kent Downs 50 Challenge

11 October - 12 October 2025

Walk, run or jog around the beautiful garden of England

Starting at the base camp near Maidstone, the main 50k looped route heads anticlockwise around the Kent Downs – starting on the North Downs, around picturesque Aylesford, and following the river Medway. You’ll head along to the majestic Leeds Castle and then the North Downs Way.

The 25k route splits off at Aylesford onto the Augustine Camino towards Boxley, where it joins the 10k route around Maidstone, before heading back to base camp. The Kent Showground base camp has Friday and Saturday night camping creating a fun event atmosphere.
