Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge 15-16 May 2027
The Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge is a multi-distance trek and trail event on the Dorset coastline. The event offers a range of individual and team options with on-course support, camping, transfers, and parking.
Distances and options include:
- 100 km full route finishing in Bridport
- ~50 km half distance
- ~25 km quarter distance
- Weymouth Marathon (loop)
- 10 km Bridport option
The main route starts at Corfe Castle, passes Swanage, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, and includes climbs and descents to Weymouth at the halfway point. Full 100 km participants continue past Portland Bill and Chesil Beach to West Bay before the finish in Bridport. Solo start, Ultra March, and Trailblazerz options are available.
Support and logistics are provided along the route. Covered rest stops appear approximately every 12.5 km with larger stops every 25 km; these feature marquees, catering, seating, changing areas, and medical and massage teams. The event supplies snacks roughly every 12.5 km, meals about every 25 km, energy drinks, and provisions for dietary requirements. A timing system scans participants at rest stops and an event app provides GPS tracking and route maps. Camping packages include showers and chill-out areas. Shuttle buses serve local train stations and many finish sites have parking.
Finishers receive a medal, a T-shirt, and a glass of fizz, and an official challenge certificate is available for download. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
