CHALLENGE Factsheet Easter 50 Challenge 2021
Take on a 50km Ultra or 25km – and make it an active Easter! From our
    Windsor Racecourse basecamp – you can Walk, Jog, or Run looped routes
    through the Great Park with great views of the Castle, along the Thames Path,
    and enjoy some wonderful countryside.
    From the Racecourse basecamp – the 25km loop heads along the Thames Path passing
    Alexandra & Home Park, with a pit stop for snacks & drinks near historic Runnymede, before
    heading to Windsor Great Park with magnificent views of the Castle.
    The full 50km Ultra option initially takes in the same route as the 25 km’er, with lunch back at
    the Racecourse – followed by a further 25km loop heading west along the Thames Path, passing
    through Dorney & Eton Wick, and then following the Jubilee River back to basecamp.

                                             meet the 50% target may result in cancellation by your charity. The remaining 50% should be with your
                                             Charity 4 weeks after the Challenge.
