From the moment you set off, you'll be treated to epic coastal and castle views, running past highlights such as Old Harry Rocks, Studland, and Corfe Castle. The hard-packed chalk and sandy trails make for a smooth, enjoyable run, perfect for those chasing a time or anyone looking to experience the joy of trail running in a truly spectacular setting.
The adventure doesn't end at the finish line, you'll complete your run at the historic ruins of Corfe Castle, before boarding a private steam train. As the train carries you back to Swanage, you can sit back, relax, and reflect on a trail run you'll remember for years to come.
