A spectacular World Heritage coastline challenge!
Start at Corfe Castle, the route heads down to Swanage and along through Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs to Weymouth halfway. For full 100km challengers, it’s past Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, and on to West Bay (of TV’s Broadchurch) before a finish line celebration in the vibrant town of Bridport. Great 3/4, Half, a new Weymouth Marathon and 1/4 Challenge options PLUS the Bridport 10K. It’s the Jurassic Coast event of the year!

It is a tough challenge, on a route that’s simply stunning and an overwhelming sense of achievement as you finish! From a new start venue in Corfe Castle it’s across the ‘Isle of Purbeck’ to Swanage, along the coast, and then looping back towards Corfe Castle for lunch at 25km. Then head west along the Purbeck Ridge to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, en route to Weymouth at the 58km halfway stop with welcome hot food. It’s on to the far end of Chesil Beach, then to West Bay with its famous sandstone cliffs, before finally reaching the Bridport finish line where a big celebration awaits!

If you’re looking for a nice steady stroll along a beautiful part of the Great British coastline then the Jurassic Coast Challenge is definitely for you, assuming of course you’ve got nerves of steel and balls to match!
Such an amazing event. 1st Half conquered. It was brutal and the hills kept coming. Everyone was kind and chatty and checked on each other. We had a fab time. Scenery was stunning. Will be back for second half next year.
