Jurassic Express Hiking Trail 2027 (Swanage to Corfe Castle)

The Jurassic Express Trail Run begins on Swanage seafront and concludes at Corfe Castle, offering three timed trail distances: 21km, 16.5km, and 10.5km. Participants start from Shore Road on the beachfront, proceeding onto courses that feature the Dorset coast as their primary setting, distinct from a closed-road town loop. The courses provide vistas across the Jurassic Coast, with landmarks such as Old Harry Rocks and Studland Bay visible along the way. Aid stations and medical support are available on the route, and those completing the run receive a medal and gifts at Corfe Castle. The event's namesake feature occurs post-run: runners have the option to reserve a private steam-train journey back to Swanage via the historic Swanage Railway.
