Jurassic Coast Challenge

Starting at Poole Harbour, it's on to Corfe Castle, across to Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs 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 (of TV's Broadchurch fame) before a finish line celebration in vibrant Bridport.  
 
With Half & Quarter distance options also available, there's a challenge here for everyone. If you are a keen runner there’s also a new Jurassic Marathon at 42km for 2021. 

These Ultra events are some of the UK’s first successful ‘Covid-secure’ mass participation challenges. The organisers will be implementing standardised measures to keep all participants safe.

Why join Team Teach First

The UK’s poorest children have always had to work harder to keep up with their wealthier peers at school. COVID-19 has made it worse. All children have big dreams. But not every child gets the chance to make them a reality.

• Great teachers - We recruit talented people to become teachers and place them in the schools that need them most.  
• Brilliant leaders - We develop strong leaders, so schools can create lasting change at every level.   
• Thriving schools - We help schools to build a thriving community, with supportive networks and positive government policy.
