Step into the Surrey Hills – Walk, Jog or Run to Support Young People with Cancer

Looking for a summer challenge close to London with big views and even bigger impact? The North Downs 50 Ultra Challenge is your chance to take on some of the best of the Surrey Hills – and raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Challenge participants smile while climbing a hill in the Surrey countryside

Starting from a welcoming basecamp in Guildford, you’ll head out on a stunning 50km looped route, packed with rolling trails, woodland paths, and sweeping views across the South. Whether you walk, jog, or run, it’s your pace, your challenge – and all for a cause that changes young lives.

Go solo or take it on with friends – and choose your distance: the full 50km, or a 25km or 10km option. However far you go, you’ll be making a difference.

Expect full support along the way – with regular rest stops, food & drink, medical teams, and optional camping & transfers. At the finish line, celebrate with your medal, T-shirt, and a big sense of achievement.

Push yourself in 2026 – sign up for the North Downs Ultra Challenge and help make sure no young person faces cancer alone.

Why support Teenage Cancer Trust

Young person on hospital bed talking with Teenage Cancer Trust nurse

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).
