Route and participant information
The route begins inland on the Purbeck Way and passes the remains of Corfe Castle before returning to the ridge with coastal views. The course continues down to Kimmeridge Bay, then follows the South West Coast Path east, passing Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle and Swanage, and finishes on the beach near Old Harry Rocks. The organiser advises participants to have run at least 22 miles in training and to be prepared for sustained uphill sections; an indicative comfortable pace is around 10 min/mile (6 min/km) for prolonged trail running. Participants may receive an alcohol-free beer at the end, subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
