Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge 2025
Lace up your hiking boots and climb toward cures for brain tumours in the second instalment – Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge!
When you or a loved one is diagnosed with a brain tumour, you know there’s a steep challenge ahead of you. Help us even the playing field by tackling the second part of our Climb for Cures charity challenge – Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge – and raising funds so we can beat brain tumours sooner.
Starting from Corfe Castle, the route heads to Swanage, then along to Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs all the way to the Weymouth halfway point.
For 100km challengers – it’s past Portland Bill, nature reserves, along the western end of Chesil Beach to West Bay’s famous cliffs, before a finish line celebration in vibrant Bridport. It will test spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 50km, 25km and 10km challenge options also available – there’s a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team of friends and family.
