No reviews of the North Downs 50, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for
A 50km loop from Loseley Park outside Guildford, out along the North Downs Way towards Dorking and back, with about 830m of climb on the organiser's figures. A 25km loop from basecamp, a 25km first half that finishes at Milton Court by Dorking, and a ten-mile. End of July, all in daylight. 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 Way: chalk and sandy track along the ridge, beech and yew woodland, short steep pulls up onto the Downs and views south over the Weald. Dry and firm in July. Signed. A road shoe with tread.
