Participants are advised to have run at least 22 miles in training and to be able to sustain an average trail pace of around 10 minutes per mile (6 minutes per km) for prolonged periods.

Route and logistics

The run starts and finishes by the beach at Studland Bay / Knoll Beach near Swanage, Dorset. The route follows the Purbeck Way inland and then the South West Coast Path east, passing Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay, Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle, and the town of Swanage, with Old Harry Rocks close to the finish. The event is supported as a guided experience rather than a race. There is a car park at the meeting area and participants need a vehicle to reach the start/finish.
