Keen walkers and explorers are invited to join Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, and take on the Jurassic Coast Challenge, the UK’s number one series of treks and trail runs over the weekend of May 18 and 19.

The Jurassic Coast Challenge features a number of distances for participants of all experience levels. The charity is inviting participants to choose their own challenge and do it at their own pace with  support that will enable you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors & camaraderie with distances from 10km to 100km. 

Francesca Potton, Community Fundraiser at Diverse Abilities, commented: “We are really excited to be part of this challenge. Most of Team DA will be participating in the 10km and 25km options, so our fundraisers can take in the challenge as part of a group, but you’re welcome to take on any distance that suits you. This is a great way to see the beauty of the Jurassic Coast, while also making a huge difference to a charity right on your doorstep.”

Entries include free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals, and massage, alongside a glass of fizz and a medal at the finish line. Raise over £25 and you’ll receive a free Diverse Abilities technical t-shirt or vest.
