About this event

This 61-kilometre journey through West Dorset links ancient hillforts across landscapes steeped in history and natural beauty. Starting from Maiden Newton, the route tackles 1,300 metres of climbing through varied terrain — woodland paths, coastal ridges, and rolling countryside — with views stretching across Lyme Bay to Portland Bill and the Jurassic Coast. An early ascent to Eggardon Hill sets the tone before the course winds through charming villages and dramatic coastal sections. Regular aid stations provide support throughout, and the promise of tea and cake at the finish offers motivation for the final miles. It's a demanding day out, rewarding runners with Iron Age hillforts, coastal panoramas, and quintessential Dorset countryside.
