JURASSIC TRAIL 16km AND 10km

PLEASE BE AWARE THIS RUN IS FOR 2027

This TRAIL RUN offers a breathtaking journey along some of the most stunning stretches of the Dorset coastline. Much of the routes are rewarded with panoramic views of the Jurassic Coast.

As you ascend towards Thorncombe Beacon, the rugged beauty of the cliffs and the endless sea beyond provide an inspiring backdrop. The path is a mix of well-trodden trails and grassy slopes, offering a bit of a challenge without being overly technical.

The final stretch brings runners back towards West Bay, with the dramatic coastline guiding the way. As you descend, the promise of a well-earned rest is a short flat run back to the Finish.

Whether you’re chasing a time or just out to enjoy a memorable day on the trails, this route delivers the perfect mix of challenge, scenery, and coastal charm.

The run is a mix of Road, Track, Grass track and Pathways.

This is a friendly, small-scale local run with a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. Once you start, we’ll be cheering you all the way to the finish! Everyone gets a medal and a recorded time, so just bring a positive spirit and enjoy the day — it’s about having fun, not chasing Olympic gold, off course you can chase your best time, but we welcome runners, walkers and jeffers, come and enjoy (as best you can), the beauty of the Jurassic coast.

Not everyone wants or values a medal, so we’ve made it optional—you can choose to enter with or without one.

Medals often travel a surprisingly long way before reaching you, and we’re mindful of the environmental impact that creates. There’s little benefit in reducing waste in areas like feed stations if we’re not also considering the footprint of items like medals.

By giving you the choice, we can offer greater flexibility while taking a more thoughtful approach to sustainability.

Parking for the event is at BRIDPORT FOOTBALL CLUB, near the Start / Finish, (500m.)
