SW Coast 2 Coast 2026

SW Coast 2 Coast begins in Dunster, a Somerset village on the English coast, held in early August. This nature trail event offers 10 km, 25 km, and 50 km distances, allowing participants to select a short coastal trail run or the complete 50 km challenge. The event is included in the UTMB Index race list, significant for trail runners seeking qualifying results. The 50 km race, the Full Challenge Loop, involves approximately 1,670 metres of ascent. The 25 km options divide the course into a first section with about 670 metres of climbing and a more demanding second section with around 1,000 metres. Previous race conditions indicate mild but wet coastal running, with average temperatures near 18°C, strong winds, and high humidity noted in one past edition.
