About the event

Test your endurance on a World Heritage shoreline at the Jurassic Coast 40 Miler, a classic point-to-point ultra-marathon along the Dorset Coast Path on Saturday, 28 March 2026. This epic 65km (40-mile) journey begins at Abbotsbury and traverses the entire, stunning section of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site to finish at the iconic Lulworth Cove. The route follows the wild and rugged South West Coast Path, demanding both mental and physical strength with its relentless, steep climbs and descents, offering some of Britain's most dramatic coastal scenery. Organized by Epic Endurance Events, the race provides comprehensive support with GPS tracking, well-stocked checkpoints, and transport from the HQ on Portland. With a 13-hour time limit and a strict mandatory kit list for safety, it's a serious challenge for seasoned ultra-runners seeking a truly iconic and self-navigated adventure. Entries are now open for an unforgettable day where every punishing step rewards you with breathtaking views of England's geological masterpiece.
