Challenge Yourself in the Chilterns – And Walk for Young People Facing Cancer

Take on the Chiltern 50 Ultra Challenge – a stunning looped route through some of the finest countryside in the Chiltern Hills. With rolling trails, nature reserves, historic paths, and sweeping views, it’s an unforgettable day out – and every step helps Teenage Cancer Trust support young people with cancer.

Two participants walk through a woodland area

Starting and finishing at basecamp in Henley-on-Thames, you’ll join up to 2,000 adventurers walking, jogging, or running at their own pace – with options for the full 50km, a 25km, or a 10km route. Go solo or take on the challenge with friends or colleagues.

You’ll be fully supported from start to finish – with rest stops, snacks, meals, drinks, medical teams, and optional camping & transfers. Cross the finish line to a celebration with a special medal, T-shirt, and a huge sense of achievement.

Just a short trip from London, this is the perfect end-of-summer challenge in a truly scenic setting.

Go further in 2026 – sign up for the Chiltern 50 Ultra Challenge and help change young lives with every kilometre.

Why support Teenage Cancer Trust

We create world class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing care and support so young people don’t have to face cancer alone.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through the toughest times they may have faced.

We’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need. By choosing to run for Teenage Cancer Trust, you can help us to reach every young person facing cancer and make a huge difference.

So you know we’re the real deal, these are our registered charity details: 1062559 (England & Wales), SC039757 (Scotland).
