Change of clothes to travel home in
Good vibes
I would recommend packing your pack with any mandatory kit for the race so you can practice but that’s up to you
The Route
We will run approx 21km with 400m elevation. Starting in Worth Matravers, heading inland to begin with before dropping down onto the coast path following the race route. We will continue along past Dancing Ledge, on towards Chapmans Pool and then up to Kingston. We’ll then loop back down towards Chapman’s Pool with the option for a small detour for a sea dip at around 18.5km, before making our way back into Worth Matravers.
The vibe of the day is a group recce with zero pressure. No one gets left behind. It is STUNNING along this section of the coast so please do stop to take photos etc and take it all in. What’s most important is that you get what you need out of the day to feel more confident ahead of October’s race.
