What you’re in for
Fifty or twenty-five kilometres of the Kent Downs on loops from the Maidstone basecamp, with a 10K. Mid-October. An Ultra Challenge event, which means walkers, joggers and runners on the same course, signed with pink arrows and glow sticks after dark, with a covered rest stop every twelve kilometres or so — food, drink, medics, toilets — and a bigger one every twenty-five. Runners can enter with a target time; most of the field will be walking.
Terrain and trail
North Downs chalk track, woodland and the Medway valley — rolling, firm, with October mud in the woods. Signed throughout. A road shoe with tread.
