London 2 Brighton Challenge 2022

About the event

2,000 adventurers of all experience levels and ages will take on a classic capital to coast route, testing their grit over the bank holiday weekend. Most will Walk, but many will Jog or Run the full 100km, and with half & quarter distance options there's a challenge for everyone.

A Richmond start by the Thames, then head through the North Downs and wonderful Surrey and Sussex countryside to halfway at Turners Hill.

The 100km route heads up and over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes in to view
