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!
