Organiser's Description

This is an 8-hour challenge event, in which runners will run as many or a few laps of the course as they wish.

There will be different routes for the Summer Challenge on the Saturday and the Lucky Dip Challenge on the Sunday. Both will be approximately 3.74 mile loops entirely within the beautiful Ranscombe Farm Nature Reserve. There'll be excellent views over North Kent and the Medway with rolling chalk hills, wildflowers and plenty of wildlife.

**Summer Ranscombe Challenge Route - Saturday**

This 3.74 mile 'Green' route loop will have 380 feet of elevation gain. The route sits between two railway lines, a road, fencing and a river so you'll know if you've gone off course. The route will be clearly marked with green SVN arrows, tape and a couple of yellow arrows in tricky places.

**Donation**

This event takes place at Ranscombe Farm Reserve, who exist to maintain this corner of England as a haven for wild flowers to flourish in. They are the flagship reserve for the charity Plantlife International, speaking up for wild plants.

The event organiser, Vikings, Saxons and Normans will donate £5 from each entry directly to the Trust to aid them in maintaining this lovely environment.
