Event Overview Text
The London 2 Brighton Challenge is now one of the UK’s greatest endurance events. Most will
walk the 100km; some will jog it, and many will run it as an ultra-marathon. However you take it
on, it’s a test of determination and stamina. It’s real, no gimmicks, no contrived obstacles, and
is achievable. It could be the most rewarding experience of your life! There’s also the half way
56km and 44km route options available too.
It’s no ordinary challenge event – it sets new standards of support and hospitality – and is why nearly
75% of the 2,300 who took part in 2014 crossed the finish line – most of whom were new to any form
of ‘ultra event’ing’. It’s a journey you won’t forget; starting with a training regime some months
beforehand, through to the excitement at the start line, and eventually, with weary limbs and the
Brighton coast in view, celebration and an overwhelming sense of achievement. It only finishes when
you've had time to reflect on what you have done - and how your challenge helped others.
How can I take part?
All walkers, joggers or runners can sign up to the challenge as an individual – and you will have
support every step of the way, or with a team of friends, family, or colleagues – with Corporate Team
packages available. Set your own target time to beat or just go at your own pace – this is your
challenge, your way!
What’s Included
All food, drink, rest-stops every 12.5km, medics, masseuses, entertainment and a winner’s
celebration in Brighton!
