Andy's 100KM Jurassic Ultra Marathon

By Andy Downton

Andy's 100km Jurassic Ultra Marathon

On 16 May 2026, I’ll be taking on the Jurassic Ultra Marathon — a 100km challenge along the rugged Jurassic Coast. It’s a tough route with steep climbs, coastal trails, and long hours on my feet, but I’m doing it to raise money for a cause that matters.

Running 100km will push me physically and mentally, but knowing that every mile can help make a difference is what keeps me moving forward. Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing the page, would mean a lot and will help motivate me through the miles.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

I'm raising money for The Burnt Chef Project and need your help!

4 out of hospitality professionals report having experienced at least one mental health issue during their career.


The current reality is that a large proportion of the hospitality community has, or will, experience a mental health issue as a direct result of chronic stress, stigma and lack of support.

In worst case scenarios this can also lead to loss of life with hospitality having one of the highest rates of suicide against other professions.

We have to change that. The Burnt Chef Project is a globally recognised not-for-profit Social Enterprise and we are fully committed to making the hospitality profession healthier and more sustainable by focusing on people's wellbeing first by providing free supporting structures, awareness campaigns supported by market-leading training and education.
