The Charmouth Challenge is a chip timed 8-mile fell run through some of the finest coastal scenery in the South West on Dorset’s beautiful Jurassic Coast, overlooking Charmouth’s famous fossil hunting beaches with views to historic Lyme Regis. It includes an ascent of Golden Cap, which at 191 metres is the highest point on the South West Coast of England.
There is also a chipped 2-mile fun run for running novices and children 8yrs+, or younger children taking part with an adult. If you don’t want to run there will be refreshments and acticities at Charmouth Primary School which is the start and finish point – and a short walk to the beach to enjoy those views!
CUP-FREE 2020
Charmouth Challenge 2020 will be a CUP-FREE / CUPLESS race. What does this mean? It means that we will NOT be providing disposable cups at the water stations, although volunteers will be happy to fill your water bladders/bottles/collapsible cups.
In our quest to become plastic free this year we ask that you run with your own re-usable cup or bottle.
Collapsible cups are available to purchase when you register online and on race day at Charmouth Primary School.
