London to Brighton Challenge

Most will walk the 100km, some will jog parts, and others will take it on as an Ultra-Marathon. However you decide to tackle the London 2 Brighton Challenge it will be a definitive, but achievable, test of endurance and determination. This challenge is more than a one off event - it's a journey you won’t forget. It starts with a training regime some months beforehand, through to the anticipation and excitement at the start line, and after a long night on weary limbs, with the Brighton Coast in view, celebrating the overwhelming sense of achievement. It finishes when you've had time to reflect on what that achievement really means to you, and where the next challenge lies. For more information or to register click here.
