Welcoming back our MOST POPULAR and for the 3rd year and with an additional distance. The return of Jurassic Express Trail Run starting from Swanage Seafront!

You will set off from the seaside town of Swanage, run epic trails with stunning coastal and castle vistas. The run finishes at the historic ruins of Corfe Castle where you will board a private steam train. Sit back, relax, soak up the views, and reflect on the experience as you return to your car via the Swanage railway.

Both routes are loaded with awe-inspiring views of the Jurassic Coast. including Old Harry Rocks, Studland, and Corfe Castle. The chalk and sandy trails are hard packed and lend themselves to an enjoyable trail running experience.

This amazing Jurassic Coast Trail run is an experience you will remember for years.

At the finish line you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher’s gift and refreshing drink!
