Event details

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The Jurassic Coast Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for The MS Trust. 

Join 3,000 adventurers of all experience levels & ages and Walk, Jog or Run the spectacular Jurassic Coast - a World Heritage Site. Choose from the full 100km challenge, 75km, a 50km half challenge, a 25km quarter, Jurassic Marathon or even a 10km distance. 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 / family. 

You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable! As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.

Fundraising for the MS Trust

We understand that fundraising can sometimes be just as much of a challenge as the event itself, but our dedicated fundraising team will be there to support you every step of the way. We will be there to get you started with our brilliant fundraising pack and will be in regular contact with support, advice and ideas. 

As a MS Trust fundraiser you will also receive a free MS Trust branded t-shirt for you to wear as you train and during the event itself. 

We recommend that our fundraisers use Just Giving to collect sponsorship online. It is quick to set up and you can easily share your page with friends, family, and colleagues to reach your fundraising goals. Plus, everything is seamless. The money you raise, as well as Gift Aid, is sent straight to us as the MS Trust so that's one less thing to worry about! You can kickstart your fundraising on Just Giving here. 

Frequently asked questions

What if I don't reach my fundraising target?

We'll keep in touch in the run up to your event and so if it looks like you might need to give your fundraising an extra boost, or if you might need some more time after the challenge to reach your target, we'll be there to help. We can discuss different tips to boost your fundraising or even maybe help you to plan an event. 

There is a minimum sponsorship amount (unless you choose to purchase your own space), as we have to pay the costs of your place from what you raise in advance of the challenge. You'll have to have raised 50% of your target 3 weeks before the challenge weekend and we know that it can sometimes be tough to raise this much so far before your challenge starts. That's why we'll help get your fundraising going right from the moment you register. We'll never suddenly turn around and expect you to have raised the money. 

What different fundraising options are there?

There are three different fundraising options for this event:

1) Full charity sponsorship option - pay a small registration fee and then fundraise with a set target for the MS Trust (we'll cover the rest of the cost of your place)

2) Mixed funding option - pay for half your place cost and fundraise with a smaller target for the MS Trust (we'll pay half of your place cost)

3) Self funding option - pay for your place and then fundraise whatever you can for the MS Trust with no set target (we won't pay anything)

Exact fundraising targets and registration fees depend on the distance chosen and can be found by pressing the "sign up now" button. 

Can I take part if I have MS?

Many people with MS take part in Ultra Challenges without any problems - while you are able to tackle this event at a pace that works for you, it can still be physically demanding, so you do need to be generally fit and have a good level of mobility. If this trip isn't for you, perhaps you might be interested in one of our other events such as Miles for MS. 

Are there Ultra Challenges in other locations?

Yes! There are 20 different Ultra Challenge events in 2025 from you to choose from taking place in a variety of different places. You can find out about other options available here. 

Is there a minimum age?

You must be 18 or over on the day of the challenge if taking on a Full (100km) Challenge, 16+ & accompanied by an adult if taking on a Half (50km) Challenge, 14+ & accompanied by an adult if taking on a Quarter (25km) Challenge.

Under 18s taking part cannot sign themselves up – they must be signed up by someone over 18.
