Y2Y Ultra (Redhill to Brighton)

Saturday 24 July 2027

This incredible coast-bound challenge (staged in partnership with our friends at YMCA Brighton) is new for 2027!

Starting at the YMCA in Redhill, walk or run 60km or a 26.2m marathon through beautiful off-road trails along footpaths and bridleways through quiet and rural Sussex countryside culminating in a climb over Ditchling Beacon before descending into the fabulous finish point at YMCA Brighton, 200m from the Pier.

The route will be fully-supported by our friendly volunteer team along four well-stocked support stops.

Do something amazing in 2027 by completing this tough but rewarding feat of endurance!

£55 | 60km Ultra
Includes commemorative medal, technical t-shirt and four well-stocked support stops

£35 | 26.2M Marathon Walk or Run
Includes commemorative medal, technical t-shirt and three well-stocked support stops

Participants will need to make own arrangements for travel back home – take the train, ask family or a friend to collect or enjoy a well-deserved hotel in Brighton!

Make it a Downs Double!
Join us on Sunday 21 March for our 20th Y2Y North Downs event!

Fundraise for us!

We offer great value for money with this event run at near to cost price and all support provided by volunteers. Whilst there is no minimum fundraising target for this event, we hope that you will be inspired to raise funds for us.

All fundraising in 2027 will go toward our Life Change Fund which was set up to help support young people in our community. In the past this has funded our Y Bus mobile youth bus, as well as furnished housing projects so young people have a home. By fundraising for us, you’ll be helping to give vulnerable young people a fresh start and the chance to build a brighter future.

You can also make a direct donation when you sign up for this event.
