Event
The Jurassic Coast Ultra Run is a guided trail ultra along the Jurassic Coast and Isle of Purbeck. The route is 30 miles long with approximately 4600 ft / 1400 m of elevation. The course starts and finishes by the beach at Studland Bay and follows inland sections of the Purbeck Way before joining the South West Coast Path. Notable landmarks on the route include Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay, Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle, Swanage, and Old Harry Rocks.
Dates listed for the event include 22 June 2024, 7 September 2025, and 5 September 2026. The 5 September 2026 listing shows a fee of £45 per person; tickets for that date are currently sold out.
Practical information
The event is run by Running Adventures and led by an experienced ultra runner and coach. It is organised as a group run rather than a race. Participants are advised to have run at least 22 miles in training, be prepared for significant elevation, and be able to maintain an average pace of about 10 min/mile (6 min/km) for prolonged periods on trail. A full kit list will be provided before the event. A car park is available at the meeting location and attendees will need a vehicle to reach the start/finish point. An alcohol-free beer may be offered at the end, subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
