Britain boasts one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world. The Coastal Trail Series (CTS) is designed to showcase the very best sections of this unique landscape.
The CTS is the most beautiful and most popular trail running series anywhere in the world, with a 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra marathon category at each location in the series.
This video gives a flavour of just one of the stunning courses in this amazing series of events.
Given World Heritage Status in 2001, The Jurassic Coast Path through Dorset is quite simply unique - this is the only location on the planet where in a few short hours of trail running you will travel through a few million years of earth time. The path draws together a fascinating history of long lost deserts, lagoons and swampy forests. A land of the dinosaurs, revealed by today's tumbling landslides and spectacular coastal erosion. The dramatic and isolated headlands offer the chance to spot Peregrine Falcons, dolphins, deer and kestrel whilst the hanging valleys and hidden little bays reveal carpets of rare wildflowers, orchids, butterflies and birdlife galore.
The best way to experience all this is on foot. Expect soaring limestone buttresses and multi coloured sandstone cliffs, gleaming white chalk stack pinnacles and folded fossil lined rock strata. Completing the scenery a backdrop of encounters with glittering azure bays, spectacular caves, huge rock arches and soft sandy coves, part of the ever changing and always breathtaking backdrop of the ocean itself. On a trail with twisting ascents and descents from soaring cliffs to perfect little coves - put simply, this is a trail runner's paradise.
