Ultra Challenge Event: Chiltern 50 Challenge

  • Henley Showground Henley-on-thames RG9 3AS UK (map)

This end of season 50 km looped route covers some of the best of the Chilterns countryside, with historic trails, rolling hills, nature reserves, and fantastic views.

Starting & finishing at the basecamp in Henley, the route follows the Thames to Henley Bridge, then out into countryside on Shakespears Way, Icknield Way, and Chiltern Way with rest stops enroute. The full 50 km route, with over 900 metres of climb, is a loop starting and finishing at the basecamp at Henley Showground – with a halfway at Lewknor. If 25 km is more your thing – you can do a loop from the basecamp – or take on either half of the full 50 km route (optional shuttles are available). You’ll get full support & hospitality all the way and at the finish there’s a Saturday night celebration BBQ & entertainment. It’s a route with real variety and some wonderful scenery – and it’s all easily accessible from London.

The Henley basecamp has Friday & Saturday evening camping options (+ showers) and parking is available.

This event is organised by Ultra Challenge and not by New Hope, but is a fantastic opportunity to raise money for us and have a great time!
