WELCOME TO THE CHARMOUTH CHALLENGE 2019!

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 2 mile fun run, also chip timed for running novices and children over the age of 8, or for any younger children taking part with a grown up. If you don’t want to run but still want to join in, no problem – there will be refreshments and things to do at Charmouth Primary School which is the start and finish point – and it’s a short walk to the beach to enjoy those views!

I've been running for 3 years and done a fair few events and this was up there with one of the best organised events I've ever done! Great marshals, challenging course and water stations in exactly the right locations - brilliant!

If you’ve ever been to the Golden Cap in Dorset, you’ll understand why it’s the perfect race venue. A stunning yellow-stoned promontory, it is the highest sea cliff on the south coast of England at 191m, and boasts stunning views of Lyme Regis and Charmouth, once you reach the top!

Thanks for a great run today, it was the first time I’ve done it and I was definitely challenged! But will def do it again, the views were incredible, great morale from the other runners, great supportive marshals and overall a very well run and organised event - thank you!

The lung-busting climbs along the way came with great rewards, in the form of the fantastic cliff-top views, and the feeling of great satisfaction that comes with the completion of a hard slog in difficult weather.

Challenging route with three big hills. Great views off the cliff tops. Great community spirit at the school that hosts the race – the whole town seemed to be there!

This race is a good choice for a family day out; as well as the main race event there was also a 2 mile fun run, and a village fete to keep spectators entertained. A particularly nice touch at the finish was the distribution of the medals by pupils from Charmouth School.
