Event overview

A spectacular World Heritage coastline challenge! 

Start at Corfe Castle, the route heads down to Swanage and along through Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs to Weymouth halfway. For full 100km challengers, it’s past Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, and on to West Bay (of TV’s Broadchurch) before a finish line celebration in the vibrant town of Bridport. Great 3/4, Half, a new Weymouth Marathon and 1/4 Challenge options PLUS the Bridport 10K. It’s the Jurassic Coast event of the year!

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
