Course Details
The Hardy Way Trail Marathon is a journey through some of the most unspoiled parts of Dorset. The trail is linked with the works of a great writer, Thomas Hardy (1840-1928). Starting at the Mordon Bog Nature Reserve in Wareham Forest the route passes through Wareham, Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge then on to the coastal footpath all the way to Lulworth. Be warned... the hills get a bit hilly on the coast path…
For the most part, the course follows the hardy Way Trail but in some areas it does differ where our route stays on footpaths on public rights of way.
