Take on the North Downs Way virtually during February and keep yourself motivated while we await Spring as the days gradually lengthen!

All walks, runs and hikes count towards your total during the entire month.  You can join in any time before the close of the 15th February and backdate any activities from the 1st February.

Register your miles either manually or with Strava (a free Strava account is all you need) and we'll plot your progress on our live map.

We're starting from Farnham and offering a choice of three route lengths so you can pick a challenge to suit you (make your choice in the entry form)

The full route runs to Dover and then loops back through Canterbury as is just shy of 250km (153 miles or so).  You'll need to average 9km a day (just over 5.5 miles) during February to meet this challenge.

If you want to stop on the coast at Dover, choose the 200km route which works out at around 4.5 miles per day.

We also have a 100km challenge (just over 3.5km per day /  2 and a bit miles).

We allow you to switch routes up until the closing date of the event on the 15th February, so if you're finding you're crushing your challenge and want to push harder, or time constraints mean you can't put in the miles you'd hoped - no problem!

To do this, go to My Account -> Tickets and Entries.  Click the 'entry form' tab under the ticket for the event and make your changes to your form.

It's important to us that we support local businesses and reduce the environmental impact of our events as far as possible.

Complete your challenge and we'll send you a bespoke, etched wooden medal to commemorate your achievement.

We will also send you a real postcard through the mail featuring a stunning shot from the trail taken by professional photographer Ally Whitlock, with your challenge achievements on the back.

We're proud to be supported by our local sports store - Apex Sports - who are offering all entrants a very generous 15% off all non-sale items (we will send you a discount code with your joining instructions). 

You can recoup the price of this event with the savings from a single pair of shoes!

Important : Apex are currently only shipping to UK addresses

We're also proud to partner with Trees Not Tees who plant native trees in their managed forests to offset CO2.  If you don't want a medal posted out to you, you can exchange it for your very own tree!  Trees Not Tees will email you a certificate of ownership, a photo of your sapling tree and even the exact location in what3words format.  You can even go and visit (when we're allowed out!)  This is a fantastic way of doing something positive for the environment.

It's very simple to record miles either manually, or automatically if you use Strava.

Note that - we only request read-only access to your Strava account which means that we cannot write to your page and we can only read public activities from public accounts.  Ensure your activities are recorded as one of 'hike', 'walk', 'run' or 'virtualrun'.  It may take up to two hours to collect your data from Strava and update the leaderboard.
