Kent 50 Mile Challenge Sunday 19th July 2009
This popular (?) event is taking place again this year (after fears of it falling by the wayside)

I can't recommend this event enough, it is a very well supported race/run and the distance is "doable" by anyone. I am proof of that.

I must admit after Paris, and once I have done London I may be tempted to give it another go this year.....anyone else ??

Venue for the event is The Gate Inn Marshside Nr Canterbury CT3 4EB

The 50 Mile Challenge is an organised runs/walk that take place in Kent. The challenge consists of a safe 6.55 mile course (total distance: 52.4 miles to be completed in under 15hrs) which allows competitors the option of dropping out whenever they wish.
The course record is 7hrs 1min!
The route will be fully signed and marshalled with first aid and water stations provided.

I quite fancy doing this one for some strange reason!. Will wait and see how I feel after Halstead.
