Ultra Challenge – South Coast Challenge 2025
Saturday 6 September 2025 - Sunday 7 September 2025
Walk, jog, or run the South Coast Challenge for Pilgrims Hospices
25km, 43km, 57km or 100km challenge
The South Downs National Park is a superb backdrop for an unforgettable South coast adventure, on the 6th-7th September 2025. Starting at Eastbourne, you’ll set off up Beachy Head and follow the magnificent Seven Sisters chalk cliff line along the South Downs Way, where you’ll be able to enjoy stunning views over the sea. Brighton will mark your half-way point, and then you’ll make a few ups and downs through Devil’s Dyke, before the historic Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100km trek.
You’ll get full support & hospitality all the way, and with 25km, 43km, 57km, and 100km distance options available– there’s a South Coast Ultra Challenge for everyone!
Sign up for the South Coast Challenge for Pilgrims Hospices and achieve something really special! By choosing to fundraise for Pilgrims Hospices with your walk, jog or run along the South Coast, you will support us in continuing to care for over 4,100 patients and their families each year across east Kent. Will you do it for Pilgrims?
What’s on offer?

Fundraising options:
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.
