Take on the Thames Path Challenge following England’s greatest river. Most people will walk, many will jog, some will run – and all have special reasons to push themselves.

Our full Thames Path Challenge 100km route heads from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to the 50km point at Runnymede – home of the Magna Carta – then on past wonderful historic scenery all the way to Henley. With 75km, 50km and 25km challenge options also available, there’s a challenge for everyone. Your challenge will be a test of spirit and determination.

You’ll be supported all the way by our team, and rewarded with an amazing sense of achievement at the end.

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.

Ari, fundraising for Dementia UK

If I could do something to raise awareness and help other families then I was proud to of completed this challenge in 12 hours. It was a tough walk, but the pain was worth everything and I would do it again just to support more wonderful charities.
