Jurassic Extinction / Jurassic Coast 100
This is a multi distance, self navigated trail event that follows the South West Coast Path along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, running broadly from Poole/Shell Bay to Exmouth. The course uses the official acorn waymarking and participants are asked to keep the sea on their left where possible. GPX files are provided for each distance and live GPS tracking is used during the event.
The organiser notes active and temporary diversions on the route; larger changes have been included in the published GPX and Outdoor Active routes. Specific diversions mentioned include Renscombe CP being about 400 m off the coast path, a West Lulworth checkpoint reached via the Bindon Hill ridgeline, and a reroute over the golf course before West Bay. Participants should take care at unfenced cliff edges, avoid landslips, and take common sense when crossing fields or following short road sections. Livestock may be encountered on some fields.
The event is supported with checkpoints, first aid cover from qualified outdoor staff, and mobile units on course. Support crews may meet participants between checkpoints; an overnight accompaniment exception is permitted. Pre event transport to start locations is available and must be booked in advance through the organiser's entry system. Volunteer roles are offered in exchange for free or discounted future entries.
