About the event

This ‘end of season’ 50km looped route covers some of the best of the Chilterns countryside. You can walk, jog, or run along historic trails and over rolling hills. Starting and finishing at the Henley-on-Thames base camp, there’s a Saturday night celebration BBQ and entertainment with camping options.

Passing through nature reserves, forests, and a few hills with great views – it’s a route with real variety, and some wonderful scenery – and it’s all easily accessible from London. With 25km options also – there’s a Chiltern Challenge here for everyone!
