In October each year LDWA London organises a challenge event based at Peaslake in Surrey with a 26 mile route (1,100m ascent) and a shorter route of approx. 16-17 miles with 640m ascent

This page is the jumping-off point from where you can find out about the Founders' Challenge and manage your entry.   There are a number of sub-sections which address the most important aspects of the event.

This year, the Founder's Challenge is being organised by Gordon Parker.   You can contact him at: 

founderschallenge@ldwa.org.uk

or by phone at:

NB: Gordon will be out of the country from 20th July - 29th August and again from 5th - 12th September 2015.   Between these dates, if possible please contact Gordon by email and only use the mobile number in case of urgency
