Take on what is perhaps the best 50 km challenge on the Ultra Challenge® calendar with the spectacular South West Coast 50 Ultra Challenge®. Set against the dramatic scenery of the South West Coast Path and Exmoor, this unforgettable event offers an incredible mix of coastline, countryside and challenging climbs.

With 25 km and family-friendly 10K options also available, there is a challenge to suit all abilities. Whether you choose to walk, jog or run, you’ll receive full support throughout the event, including rest stops, hospitality and welfare services. Dunster Basecamp offers camping, parking, transfers, a bar and a lively festival atmosphere, making it the perfect summer challenge weekend for individuals, teams and families alike.
