The Jurassic 100 km challenge starts at Chesil Beach, Weymouth and follows the South West coast path all the way to Exmouth. It is a well marked route and navigation is fairly straightforward.

The first section is relatively easy, with a few small rolling hills, until you arrive in West Bay. From here, things become much more hilly and you will soon arrive at the steep climb up to Golden Cap, the highest point on your journey at an elevation of 191m. Rolling hills then lead down to Charmouth.

Low tide here allows a quick hunt for fossils along the beach as you approach Lyme Regis and the half way point on your challenge. There is an inland diversion at high tide to avoid getting your feet wet.
The next section through the “lost world” of the undercliff to Seaton is absolutely stunning but pretty tough going. Expect lots of hills and difficult conditions underfoot.

After leaving Seaton you’ll soon arrive at the pretty fishing village of Beer with its unmistakeable white chalk cliffs. The next section to Sidmouth, is possibly the toughest where the path takes you from sea level up to heights of around 150m; over and over again.

After this, only a couple of notable hills remain (Peak Hill and West Down Beacon), as you continue your journey past the sandstone sea stacks at Ladram Bay and the sleepy town of Budleigh Salterton.

After passing the seaside resort of Sandy Bay, you will soon encounter the Geoneedle, marking the end of the Jurassic coast. From here, easy flat ground remains to the finish.

A tough journey to remember forever!

New for 2018:

The Full Jurassic, a 100 mile ultra marathon and challenge walk along the full length of the Jurassic Coast.

This will start at South Haven Point, near Poole. The route will then continue past Old Harry Rocks, the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast.

Highlights along this section include Durlston Country Park, Dancing Ledge, Chapman’s Pool, Kimmerage Bay, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.

After continuing through Weymouth, the route then joins the Jurassic Coast 100k all the way to Exmouth.
