Event overview
The Jurassic Coast Ultra Run is a guided trail ultra covering 30 miles along the Jurassic Coast and the Isle of Purbeck. The event is scheduled for 5 September 2026 and has an entry cost of £45 per person. The run is described as hilly with total elevation of about 4,600 ft (1,400 m). It is organised by Running Adventures and includes a meeting point listed as Knoll Beach, Swanage, Dorset.
Route and logistics
The route begins and finishes on a beach near Studland Bay and follows inland and coastal trails, including sections of the Purbeck Way and 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. The event is run as a group rather than a race; participants are advised to have completed at least 22 miles in training and be prepared for significant elevation. The organiser recommends participants can sustain an average trail pace of about 10 minutes per mile for prolonged periods. A full kit list will be provided before the run. Parking is available at the meeting point and participants are expected to travel by vehicle to the start. An alcohol-free beer may be offered at the finish, subject to availability.
