The Beast 2025
07 September 2025
The Beast
The Beast is just that, a beast of race. Hosted by Poole AC, this event takes in some of the most spectacular views of Dorset (well in our humble opinion), the 13(ish) mile ‘undulating’ course starts on Corfe Castle Common before heading out towards Worth Matravers and then on to the coastal path with great views of the coast! The course then heads back towards Corfe with only a few ‘minor’ hills to get up. There are 4 water stations on the course and cups are provided if you do not have your own.
This historic race is part of the Purbeck Trail Series
THE MINIMUM ENTRY AGE IS 17.
WE REGRET NO DOGS OR BUGGIES WILL BE PERMITTED.
We also regret that the course is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
