THE LONDON 2 BRIGHTON CHALLENGE
100km by foot is not your normal charity 'walk in the park'. London 2 Brighton Challenge demands teamwork, grit, and determination - rewarding those who undertake it with a sense of achievement enduring long after the trail shoes or walking boots have been hung-up.
THE ROUTE
Starting in Richmond, on the banks of the Thames, between 0700hrs and 1200hrs on Saturday 12 May 2012, the London 2 Brighton Challenge is a signed and marshalled route along footpaths, bridleways, and national trails traversing the North and South Downs through the night before arriving in Brighton. En-route you'll be supported by an extensive team of pacers, caterers, medics, and physios; with replenishment checkpoints every 12km or so. Hot-meal stations at 50km and 75km will keep you well fueled, with a welcome brunch at the end. Full route maps, topography, and timings will be released via the website participant area in early 2012.
