Jurassic Coast Ultra Run

This is a guided trail ultra covering 30 miles around the Jurassic Coast and the Isle of Purbeck. Participants meet at Knoll Beach, Swanage, Dorset. The route is hilly and follows a mixture of inland trails and coastal paths, including the Purbeck Way and the South West Coast Path.

The route visits several landmarks and locations along the way such as Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay, Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle, the town of Swanage, and finishes at a beach with views of Old Harry Rocks. The guide takes care of navigation and offers guidance during the run.

Organisers advise participants to have run at least 22 miles in training and to be prepared for significant elevation gain. Runners should be able to sustain an average pace around 10 minutes per mile or 6 minutes per kilometre for prolonged periods on trail. A full kit list will be provided and further event information is issued in advance.
