North Downs 50 Ultra Challenge

August 1

Join #TeamWinston for the fabulous North Downs Ultra Challenge!

The North Downs provides a fabulous challenge from a Guildford basecamp, with a looped 50 km route which takes in some of the best of the Surrey hills and the surrounding countryside. You can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for Winston’s Wish!

A route with some wonderful scenery and fabulous views out to the south, and easily accessible from London! Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With 25km & 10km options also available – there’s a summer challenge here for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks & trail challenges.

Winston’s Wish and Child Bereavement UK are merging to strengthen the support available for bereaved children, young people, parents and families across the UK. In the coming weeks, Winston’s Wish will change its name to Child Bereavement UK. By taking on the North Downs 50 Ultra Challenge you will still be raising money to support grieving children, young people and families, but the charity you will be fundraising for will be called Child Bereavement UK.
