The Maverick Jurassic Coast X-Trail 2026
The Maverick Jurassic Coast X-Trail is a trail running event around the Isle of Purbeck and part of the Jurassic Coast, based at Burnbake Forest Lodges and Campsite near Corfe Castle, Wareham, Dorset (BH20 5JH). The event offers multiple trail distances, including:
- 100 km
- 52 km
Routes follow coastal ridge-lines, sections of the South West Coast Path and inland trails. Terrain is technical with long steep climbs and descents; elevation gain is listed as +2463 m for the 100 km and +1107 m for the 52 km. Courses are fully marked and supported by fuel and hydration outposts; the 52 km route has four outposts and the 100 km route uses several outposts with strict cut-off times. Cut-off limits are published for each route and are enforced for safety.
Race packs are available from the registration area at Burnbake Campsite either on the day or the day before the event. GPS trackers and kit checks take place at the campsite before the race. Drop bags are provided for the 100 km and are transported to an outpost roughly 56 km into the route and returned to the finish area for collection. Mandatory kit lists differ by route but include items such as a waterproof jacket, minimum 1 litre water capacity, 800 calories of food, a foil blanket, mobile phone and GPX of the route.
Facilities include free parking, event timing, online results, outpost catering, event photography, a bag drop and a metal finishers medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
