Event overview
The Jurassic Coast Ultra Run is a guided trail run on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. The route covers 30 miles and is described as very hilly, with total elevation of 4600 ft / 1400 m. The meeting area is given in the Swanage/Studland Bay area. The listed cost is £45 per person and a car park is available. The event is run as a group rather than a race.
Route, pace and logistics
The guided route follows the Purbeck Way and sections of the South West Coast Path. Notable points on the route include Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge Bay, Chapman's Pool, Durlston Head Castle, the town of Swanage, and Old Harry Rocks. Organisers advise that participants should have run at least 22 miles in training and be prepared for sustained trail running at an average pace around 10 minutes per mile (6 minutes per km) for prolonged periods. A full kit list will be provided, and participants need a vehicle to reach the start/finish meeting point. Organisers may provide an alcohol-free beer at the end of the run, subject to availability. Additional event information and final meeting details are sent to participants before the run. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
