01/01/2026 11:00Dorset 2026 Event Launched

This event is part of the Endurancelife 26-27 trail running season (September 2026 till July 2027). Runners who complete any distance category at this event will be awarded points and will be listed in the Season Leader Board. Points are awarded based on performance and can contribute to a participant's overall season score. Good luck! Read more here.

Check-in! : We will be asking all registered participants to check in online approximately two weeks from the event. The Check-in process will result in a simpler event experience for you by removing the usual on-the-day administration. Within the Check-in process we will ask you to check your personal details, such as your ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact, as well as watch the mandatory event safety video.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event!

Given World Heritage status in 2001, The Jurassic Coast Path through Dorset is quite simply unique. This is the only location on the planet where in a few short hours of trail running you will travel through a few million years of earth time - all with the ocean as a glorious backdrop. Oh yes, and those years are represented in hills...

Come and join us for our Dorset 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra courses – a tough trail runner's paradise.

This event is part of the Season Leaderboard!
