Jurassic Extinction / Jurassic Coast 100
Jurassic Extinction and the Jurassic Coast 100 are multi-distance events along the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, running along the South West Coast Path from the Poole area to Exmouth. Distances offered include:
- 105 miles Poole to Exmouth
- 100 km Weymouth to Exmouth
- 70 km Poole to Weymouth (Nothe Fort)
- 50 km Lyme Regis to Exmouth
- 33 km Beer to Exmouth
All courses follow the South West Coast Path waymarking (acorn symbol) and require self-navigation; GPS devices are recommended as a backup. Each distance has recorded total ascent and a maximum time allowance, and live GPS tracking is provided on the course. The event uses checkpoints with on-site first aid and Climb South West safety teams, plus mobile units for support between checkpoints. Participants may encounter temporary diversions and sections moved inland because of landslips; diversions included in the published GPX and Outdoor Active routes should be followed. Unfenced cliff edges and livestock on fields are noted hazards; competitors are advised to keep away from unstable ground and to follow temporary diversion signs.
Support crews may meet participants at agreed locations but are not permitted inside indoor checkpoints; limited overnight accompaniment is allowed during specified night hours. Pre-event transport is available to start locations; there is no return transport after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
