Ultra Challenge – Thames Path Challenge 2025
Saturday 13 September 2025 - Sunday 14 September 2025
Run, jog or hike the Thames Path Challenge for hospice care
22km, 28km, 50km or 100km Challenge
England’s greatest river provides a fantastic backdrop for an unforgettable challenge. This amazing route is steeped in history, and over 2,000 adventurers will join the start-line at Putney Bridge before embarking on their challenge. The full 100km route heads upstream to Henley along the famous Towpath, and then you’ll pass through Richmond, Hampton Court, Runnymede and Windsor, whilst taking in some wonderful scenery before a riverside finish line.
Most will walk, many will jog, some will run: all will have a special reason to push themselves. You’ll be fully supported all the way and rewarded with an amazing sense of achievement. Will you do it for Pilgrims?
Choosing to fundraise for Pilgrims Hospices with your walk, jog or run along the Thames Path will support us in continuing to care for over 4,100 patients and their families each year across east Kent.
What’s included?
- Pre-event training guides & access to the challenge app
- Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
- Pace walkers, marshals, medics and massages
- Fully signed route
- Finisher’s medal, t-shirt, meal and a glass of bubbly
- 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.
