Ultra Challenge – London 2 Brighton Challenge
Saturday 27 May 2023 - Sunday 28 May 2023
Walk, jog or run the London 2 Brighton Challenge for Pilgrims!
25km / ~50km / 100km Challenge
Richmond, West London, Saturday morning and 2,000 excited challengers eagerly await the start of this unique Capital to Coast route. There’s 100km of paths and trails, the North Downs, South Downs and some wonderful Sussex countryside to explore before the coastline comes into view and the welcome finish line awaits down the home straight of Brighton Racecourse. The journey is amazing, and with some training and determination anyone can conquer London 2 Brighton. Will you do it for Pilgrims?
Choosing to fundraise for Pilgrims Hospices with your walk, jog or run from London 2 Brighton will support us in continuing to care for over 2,500 people each year who are facing an incurable illness across east Kent.
What’s included?
- Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
- Pace walkers, marshals, medics and massage
- Finisher’s medal, t-shirt and a glass of bubbly
- Fully signed route
- Shuttle buses and transfers
- Optional training walks & event app
- Relay option and corporate packages available – round up your colleagues!
Fundraising options:
With 80% of our hospice funding coming through voluntary donations from our local community, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist nursing care in one of our inpatient units.
Once you’ve decided on your challenge distance, there are three ways to fund your entry:
- Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
- Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will cover the cost of your event place
- Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will pay the balance of the event place cost
Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge – full challenge, half challenge or quarter challenge.
