Jurassic Coast | Walk and trek for cats

Join 3,000 adventurers of all experience levels and ages and walk, jog or run the spectacular Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. Choose from a 10km distance, Jurassic Marathon, a 25km quarter challenge, a 50km half challenge, 75km or take on the full 100km challenge. 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 and 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 and determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 50km, 25km and 10km options also available, there's a challenge here for everyone. 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.

Why should I take part in the walk for Cats Protection?

Two reasons, both are as important as each other:

firstly, to help cats and kittens in need across the country. Your generosity and kindness enables our teams to go on caring for abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens
secondly, for yourself! By taking part in this walk, it can be a fantastic and fun way to challenge yourself and mix up your day to day, get fit and raise vital donations for cats in need. We like to think of it as the good kind of nervous. You’re getting out of your comfort zone but you’ll be having so much fun doing it!
