Lace up your walking boots, or running shoes, and enjoy the rural beauty of one of England’s oldest and least-trodden national trails.
The Pilgrims Way Challenge is back on Saturday 15 June 2024 and now back to front!
New for 2024, we have reversed (and tweaked) the routes, allowing first-timers and returning participants to enjoy fresh challenges and new vantage points along the way. Lace up your walking boots, or running shoes, and enjoy the rural beauty of one of England’s oldest and least-trodden national trails.
Now, starting from the coastal town of Dover, beneath the imposing walls of Dover Castle at Connaught Park, follow the North Downs Way through rolling fields and charming villages to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Then, onward via the Pilgrims Way and scenic Stour Valley to finish in the picturesque village of Wye, nestled in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Along the way, you’ll pass through ancient woodland, orchards, and fields, as well as a few challenging climbs encompassing the undulating geography of the Garden of England.
