Event overview
The Portland Coastal Ultra Trail Marathon will be taking place from the iconic Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
Along with the full distance marathon there will be a half marathon and a 10k so all abilities can take part in this festival of running in a what is possibly the most stunning of coastal trail locations.
There will be sea views the whole way and plenty of fresh air, as well as a bespoke finisher's medal for your efforts.
The route follows the Portland section of the South West Coastal Path. The path is marked on fingerpost signs by an Acorn symbol and is a well-trodden track for the majority of the way.

Challenging but worthwhile A great day out, on a hard course. Well marshalled and enjoyable. Dan Connolly
8th time that run the marathon so guess I like it. Very hard and six hours always in your head as a challenge, but gets me training in January rather than that dry January nonsense : ) Quentin Brocklebank
Stunning scenery, great atmosphere, brilliant marshalls and one hell of a challenge. Thank you. From start to finish it was simply wonderful. This year the weather was perfect for one of the most challenging Adventure Marathons around the UK coast. Well organised from start to finish it was just brilliant. I'm seriously considering for next year as it is a mighty challenge every time and 2025 would be my eighth Portland Coastal Marathon. Neil Biles
Physically hard and technical with beautiful scenery Faultless, Bustinskin are so organised. Even the good weather turned up :) Neil Worthington
Stunningly savage! Anon
Brilliant event! A really well organised event, with lovely marshalls and amazing scenery, I will be back! Richard Slater
Another great event. Hard n tough. Michael Tizard
Four seasons in one day! You will not get a PB. It is hard work. You will not do a more varied, scenic or satisfying race than this one. Sign up only if you dare! Anon
A tough marathon with stunning views. Anon
The Best! Donβt change a thing, it was spot on. Adam Frame
