Take on the Thames Path across this iconic challenge
England’s greatest river provides a fantastic backdrop for an unforgettable challenge, hosting over 3,000 challengers all walking, jogging, and running towards their finish line. Take on this iconic Ultra Challenge at whatever pace suits you all whilst fundraising for #TeamNSPCC and making a real difference.
Start by heading over Putney Bridge onto the south side of the River Thames and the iconic towpath. Head upstream through Richmond, by Hampton Court, and out to Runnymede and Windsor. There is wonderful scenery on route as the city turns to countryside, all along a flat and fast path.
Tackle the challenge by yourself or as a team, choosing from a wide range of distances - there really is something for all abilities!
Fundraising options
- Charity Fundraising — pay a lower registration fee and pledge to raise a set sponsorship target.
