London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge®
2,000 or so adventurers will take on the Capital to Coast trails and test their grit & determination. You can join and take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for your favourite charity! Richmond-Upon-Thames is the start, and it’s over the North Downs with wonderful Surrey & Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill. The full 100km route heads over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes into view. Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With half, quarter, Marathon & 25km options also available – there’s bank holiday weekend challenge here for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks & trail challenges.

This event is organised by Action Challenge.
Wooden Spoon works with some event suppliers to provide a platform for our members and supporters to fundraise for the charity. There is a cost to the charity to administer these events and therefore we have set minimum fundraising levels which we view as achievable based on previous participants. It is at Wooden Spoon’s discretion whether to allow the participants to take part or not for the charity, if fundraising levels are not met. Thanks for your understanding.
