The Jurassic Classic is a challenging ride offering three routes to choose from, ranging from 56 km to 121 km, to suit all levels of riders.
The routes wind through the stunning Purbeck Hills, offering riders breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast. Along the way, you'll encounter challenging climbs (the more challenging being a 1.8km section with a 7% average gradient along the Lulworth Range), rewarding descents, and historical landmarks like Lulworth Castle and Corfe Castle.
But the Jurassic Classic is more than just a Sportive. It's a chance to challenge yourself, push your limits, and experience the beauty of the Dorset countryside. And when you cross the finish line, you'll be rewarded with a finisher medal and other goodies.
All our events come with: Free parking, mechanical support, medical support, chip timing, online results, downloadable certificate, feed stops, fully signed routes to keep you on track, free photography, an eco-friendly wooden finishers medal, some finish line goodies from our partners and the option to buy food and drink at our event village.
