The Challenge

On June 15th 2015, 10 members of the University of Kent's Athletics & XC club will set off on a 300 mile run from Canterbury to Amsterdam.

 

They are taking on this challenge in support of the British Heart Foundation.

 

 

 

 

The route begins from the University of Kent's Canterbury campus.

 

On day one of the challenge the team will run to Dover, before catching an evening ferry across the channel.

 

After an overnight stop in France they will then make their way across Belgium  to Brussels.

 

From Brussels it will take a further 5 days of running before they reach their final destination, Amsterdam.

 

The participants will be camping each night, making the challenge that little bit more arduous.

 

On average the team will be covering 30 miles a day. In total they will each have covered the equivalent distance of eleven and a half marathons!
