Dorset Coastal Trail Run : Swanage

Endurancelife stages a series of trail races based in Swanage that follow sections of the Jurassic Coast Path. The route uses coastal trails and grass underfoot and is routed through terrain described as extreme. The Jurassic Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site designated in 2001 and the course includes notable geological exposures and coastal hills.

The event offers multiple distance categories and published figures for distance and ascent for each course. Participants complete a pre-event online check-in roughly two weeks before the event, which asks runners to confirm personal details including an ICE contact and to watch a mandatory event safety video. This Dorset event is part of the Endurancelife 2026-27 trail running season and finishing any distance awards points toward the Season Leader Board.
