Other events
Take on a challenge event and join us in the race to defeat meningitis. Whether it’s a 10km run, marathon or trek we have a fundraising event just for you.
Why take part in the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge?
Take on a spectacular world heritage coastline at your pace. Walk, jog or run and fundraise for Meningitis Research Foundation. Starting in Corfe Castle, the route heads down to Swanage, and along through Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs to Weymouth halfway. For full 100 km challengers, it’s past Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, and on to West Bay – before a finish line in the vibrant town of Bridport.
Join up to 3,000 adventurers as an individual or as a team. You’ll get full support all the way with plenty of food and drink and optional camping and transfers. At the end you will receive a celebration finish with special medal and T shirt – along with a great sense of achievement!
