The ORIGINAL coast path ultra run…

Support runners / pacers
The idea of this race is to test yourself. It is understood that some people may require a little help to finish, this encouragement and support is done by the Brutal crew. It is against the ethos of the event to have support runners for multiple sections.

What happens if I need to pull out?

hints and Tips

Into the darkness
Half of this event will be in the dark, so make sure your navigation is on point, otherwise you may find yourself in a random field, a decent head torch is a must.

Get ready to get muddy
Nothing can prepare you for the coast path mud in April. This is not a race for road shoes, you need all the grip possible.

The night will eat you and spit you out. GAME ON. This event is a true test of character and resilience. Get the fun run done to Osmington Mills and then it's game on till the end. Well organised and supported.
