Terrain
The Jurassic Coast is famed for its undulations. With quite possibly more up then down the terrain is challenging to say the least. Very steep rocky cliff paths, shingle, sand, mud and some tarmac if you are lucky.
The route starts near Lyme Regies with a early climb up Golden Cap to get the legs warmed up! Navigational fun follows around Abbotsbury as the Coast Path wanders inland for a while. The Isle of Portland remains in the course for the 2012 ONER, and is enjoyed by participants! The flat lands of Weymouth give the legs a short rest before the tough stuff really starts. Osmington, Ringstead Bay, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Tyneham Village, and the spectacular Kimmeridge Bay all lay in wait for the weary sets of legs. After Swanage the final leg of the course takes runners along the long sandy Studland beach to the finish point at Shell Bay.
For a sneaky peek at the route and what\'s in store for you have a look at the JCC video. The link is on the top right hand side of this page. Obviously you don’t have the luxury of doing the route in 3 days like the Jurassic Coast Challenge runners.
The event is self navigation. You must be able to use a map and compass effectively. A large part of the running is done at night along the cliff paths. There is a inherent danger to anyone entering this event. You must be 100% confident in your ability to operate effectively through the night and in to the next day.
You have to maintain a average speed of just over 3 mph to complete the distance in 24hrs. Check point cut off times will be calculated and published before the event. If you are late for a check point you will be removed from the race.

Please be aware this is a extremely arduous event. You must be able to navigate effectively using a compass and map in the dark. You will be running though the night. Do not enter the event if you do not have previous experience of self navigation ultra events. Good luck
