Jurassic Coast Challenge 2021

About the event

Join 2,000 adventurers of all experience levels and ages and Walk, Jog or Run the spectacular Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.

After a Poole Harbour start it's on to Corfe Castle, then across to Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, until we get to our halfway point at Weymouth. For 100km challengers the journey will continue past Portland Bill, through nature reserves, along the western end of Chesil Beach to West Bay's famous cliffs (of TV's Broadchurch fame), before a finish line celebration in vibrant Bridport.

With Half and Quarter distance options available, there's a challenge here for everyone!
