Portland 10-Mile Road Race

In 1980 three bored sailors stationed at the Royal Naval Air Station came up with the idea of a 10-mile race on Portland, the cost was 40 pence to enter!

Today the race has developed into a testing 10-mile route that will see competitors run a lap and a half around the top of the island, from one end of the island, Portland Heights Hotel (385 ft), to the other, Portland Bill (30 ft). The route is undulating, on tarmac roads and pavements and goes through built up areas as well as following long stretches of coastal roads.
