Kent Downs 50

About this event

The Kent Downs 50 explores the rolling chalk landscapes of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside Maidstone. Runners choose between a 25-kilometre route with 300 metres of climbing or the full 50-kilometre challenge gaining 1000 metres across those deceptively tough undulating hills. The course winds through ancient woodlands and open downland, showcasing quintessentially English countryside at its autumn best. Those chalk slopes may look gentle, but they accumulate into a proper test over distance — this is one for runners with solid trail experience. The mid-October timing brings crisp conditions and seasonal colours, proving that southern England's trails offer genuine challenge and character.
