As the name denotes, the Challenge involves running from Paris to London. Following a replica Paris marathon course, taking in all of the Parisian sites en-route, the runners head to the French coast at Dieppe. The route through France is on small, picturesque, and quiet country roads with overnight stops being made in tiny French villages, which go out of their way to accomodate the runners and their entourage. The only stretch of the journey that will not be covered on foot is crossing the channel, which will be done by ferry, courtesy of Hoverspeed, from Dieppe to Newhaven. After a relaxing rest on the ferry the runners head to London. Those who still have not satisfied the craving for endorphins on Sunday morning the 18th April will approach Blackheath and the start of the Flora London Marathon for the final 26.2 miles of their epic 230 mile journey. The adventure entails an average of more than a marathon per day (approximately 28 miles) for 8 consecutive days with each runner having to complete the full distance individually.The event is being run to raise money for charity as well as being a great personal adventure for the runners.
