The Maverick Jurassic Coast Trail 2026
The event takes place on Saturday 17 October 2026 at Burnbake Forest Lodges and Campsite near Corfe Castle in Wareham, Dorset. Routes run on trails around the Isle of Purbeck and include sections of the Jurassic Coast and the Purbeck Way. Three routes start just outside the village of Corfe Castle and run across marshland toward the coast.
The routes listed are:
- Half Marathon: 24 km, elevation gain +395 m
- Middle: 12 km, elevation gain +105 m
- Short: 6 km, elevation gain +35 m
The half marathon route includes coastal ridge-line sections and passes near Old Harry's Rocks. There is one fuel and hydration outpost on the half marathon route at approximately 9 km offering sweet and savoury snacks, gels and electrolyte drink. There are no outposts on the short or middle routes. Organisers aim to keep outposts cup free so participants should bring a cup or bottle to refill.
The venue offers free parking and the course is fully marked and timed with online results and event photography. Food and drink will be available and finishers receive a metal medal. The event is dog friendly but a dog must be added to an entry. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a participating adult. Runners are advised to carry water, a raincoat, a foil blanket and a mobile phone and to follow on course signage and marshal instructions.
