Thousands of runners and walkers have taken part in the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge - part of the UK’s biggest and best series of treks and trail runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels which raises £10+ million a year for charities - and now there's a 10K to complete the active weekend.
You’ll get a fully signed route with arrows, a rest stop with free snacks and drinks, medal and glass of fizz to make your active fundraising challenge successful and rewarding! If you’re up for a 10K charity challenge this year, make it The Bridport 10K!
The Bridport 10K is fun, safe, and rewarding and you can take it on at your pace as an individual, or as a team of friends or family. It's ideal as a charity fundraiser and children are welcome too. You’ll get full support, there’s an optional finishers meal – and you’ll receive a glass of fizz at the finish, medal and t-shirt too.
You’ll be amazed how much you can raise as friends and family will recognise and support your endeavours over 10K distance! All fundraising goes directly to your charity via an online JustGiving page.
This 10K is part of a series which raises £10+ million a year for charities. Choose your charity, set up a JustGiving sponsorship page and make your miles count!
Whether you’re a walker and new to challenge events, an experienced trekker, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge® for you! Walk, Jog, or Run at your pace, as an Individual or a Team, for a charity of your choice or just for you. There’s an Ultra March® option for ‘fast walkers’ – and a new ‘Solo Challenger’ start time to join up with others.
This Ultra Challenge® famously lays on the best support and hospitality available on any UK endurance-style event. This enables you to step up and confidently tackle an 'Ultra' distance, with the best chance of success - and to enjoy your challenge! Here's a summary:
10km looped route with a start and finish at the main Bridport hub. The route explores the off-road paths, and passes the West Bay Harbour and views of the wonderful West Bay Cliffs. You’ll be rewarded with a medal, glass of fizz and an optional hot meal to celebrate your achievements.
You need to create your fundraising page on JustGiving within 48 hours of registering for your challenge. Then you can start your fundraising by sharing your page online with your friends and family.
As long as you’re all fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on JustGiving. You will still have to reach the combined total fundraising amount as the target is per person, not per team.
Speak to your charity about any worries. They are the experts and will offer you support, materials and inspiration throughout.
Remember only 50% of the target has to be reached 3 weeks before the challenge meaning you’ve got time after the challenge to impress everyone with your achievement and keep on fundraising.
If you don’t reach the fundraising target, there are alternative options. You can always change to a self-funded place and still take part in the challenge.
Once you've got your charity place, your details will be passed to the charity and you will hear from them within 14 days.
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.
The registration fee and minimum sponsorship amount will vary depending on charity/distance chosen.
