Event Information
The Jurassic Coast Ultra Run is a guided, 30-mile trail run. It starts and finishes at Knoll Beach, Studland Bay in Swanage, Dorset.
Course Description
The run is a tour of the Jurassic Coast and Isle of Purbeck. The route begins by heading inland along the Purbeck Way towards Corfe Castle. It then ascends onto a ridge with views of the coast before descending to Kimmeridge Bay. From there, the route continues east along the South West Coast Path, passing landmarks including Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle, and the town of Swanage. The finish is back at the beach, near Old Harry Rocks. The course is described as hilly.
