Are you living life through screens instead of your senses?
Do you ever feel like your body is slowly fossilising into your office chair?
Has your comfort zone quietly become… a cage?
Time to step out.
Far out.
All the way out of London — on foot — until you hit salt air and open water.
The London to Sea Survival Race is a two-day, team-based endurance challenge through the wild edges of Kent and the High Weald, finishing on the coast near Hastings.
You’ll meet early in central London, board a coach, and — in the final minutes — be blindfolded.
Your start point?
You’ll only know when the blindfold comes off.
From there, it’s up to you and your team to navigate south using only a map and compass, moving through ancient woodland, farmland, valleys and ridgelines.
Along the way, you’ll encounter checkpoints with challenges — some physical, some strategic, some absurd.
Crack them and you gain an edge.
Fail them and you fall behind.
It’s not the fittest team that wins — it’s the calmest, smartest, and most creative under pressure.
You don’t need to be an athlete.
You do need grit, humour, and a willingness to get muddy and tired.
The Route
You’ll travel entirely on foot, navigating by map and compass.
Expect roughly 28–32 miles over two days, taking you through:
Rolling farmland and quiet villages
Pockets of ancient woodland
The green seams of the High Weald
River valleys, ridgelines and old trackways
Landscapes that feel a million miles from Zone 1
On Day 2, after miles of forests and fields, you’ll descend toward the coast — hearing the gulls before you see the water.
Your finish line: the sea at Hastings.
The CAMP
By late afternoon on Day 1, you’ll arrive at a peaceful camping spot surrounded by trees and farmland — your base for the night.
There’ll be:
A communal fire
Hot drinks served in tin mugs
A solo acoustic indie-folk set as the sun drops
Stories, laughter, and steam rising off tired bodies
Bring your own tent.
Carry what you need.
Reconnect with each other and the land in a way most people rarely do anymore.
The Vibe
Think pilgrimage meets adventure race.
Bear Grylls meets Alan from The Hangover — less macho, more meaningful.
You’ll laugh.
You’ll ache.
You might swear.
You might cry.
And when you reach the sea, you’ll feel something you haven’t felt in a long time.
This is Wolf Pack.
A medicine for modern life.
A story you’ll tell for years.
