Jurassic Express Hiking Trail 2027 (Swanage to Corfe Castle)

Immerse yourself in the scenic beauty of Dorset's Jurassic Coast with our returning favorite: The Jurassic Express Hiking Trail. This breathtaking coastal adventure offers three distinct route options, catering to all runners regardless of their pace or endurance level—21k for those seeking a half marathon challenge, 16.5k if you prefer something moderate, and the more relaxed 10.5k option for scenic enjoyment.
The journey begins along Swanage’s picturesque seafront before leading participants through some of Britain's most enchanting coastal landscapes. As runners progress, they will encounter iconic landmarks like Old Harry Rocks, Studland Beaches, and Corfe Castle ruins, making this trail a feast for both the body and soul.
Each route is marked by well-maintained chalk paths and sandy tracks that offer smooth passage underfoot whether you're pushing personal bests or just enjoying the stunning vistas. Once runners complete their chosen distance beneath the majestic backdrop of Corfe Castle's historic ruins, they board a vintage train returning them to Swanage with nostalgic charm.
