The route starts at Corfe Castle and goes to Swanage, through Lulworth Cove and past Durdle Door, with ups and downs to Weymouth at roughly the midpoint. The full 100 km course continues past Portland Bill, along Chesil Beach and on to West Bay before finishing in Bridport.
Support on course includes covered rest stops approximately every 12.5 km with larger facilities about every 25 km. Rest stops provide snacks, drinks, meals, seating, changing areas, and catering that covers dietary requirements. Medical provision includes doctors, paramedics, first aiders, podiatrists, massage teams, and mobile emergency medical teams managed from a 24 hour control room. The route is marked with arrows and glow-sticks when needed, and GPS tracking is available through the event app. Timing scans log progress at rest stops.
Additional services include camping packages with a roughly 50 km campsite for two day options, shuttle buses and transfers to local stations, parking at many finish locations, a solo start option, and alternative challenge formats such as Ultra March and Trailblazerz. Finishers receive a medal, T shirt, a finishers meal and a certificate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
