Brilliant event! The 40miler was a beautiful route and very easy to Navigate, all the other runners were very encouraging to eachother and wanted their fellow runner to do their best. Aid stations were plentiful and had a great choice of foods. I ended up winning the Ultra distance which made the day extra special

Event information
The Jurassic Coast Ultra starts at Abbotsbury and follows the South West Coast path all the way to Lulworth Cove.
Terrain:
Wild and rugged. Steep climbs and descents that test your concentration as well as your strength. The course follows the South West Coast path which is marked by the Acorn sign. It's a very obvious well-worn route. The emphasis is on self-navigation. In most cases, it's as easy as keeping the sea on your right and the land on your left.
