London to Brighton Challenge

Date: 24 - 25 May 2025
Location: London (Richmond) - Brighton

Join 2,000 adventurers and take on a classic capital to coast route. The London 2 Brighton Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, with support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for Battersea.

Starting in Richmond’s Old Deer Park, pass through the North Downs and wonderful Surrey & Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill. The full challenge heads up and over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes into view. With 75km, 50km, and 25km challenge options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team with your friends, colleagues or family.

As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement!
