In short: Out-and-back like the old route, but now undulating and more scenic
In full: I’ve done the old Purbeck 10k a few times; a flat and fast out-and-back route. This one though is somewhat more undulating, and because of that actually felt more enjoyable. Norden Park and Ride was the ideal location for the finish and start nearby. But for me the highlight was at 7km seeing Corfe Castle in the distance.

In short: The new route is more challenging but in the right conditions a great run :)
In full: I've run the old Purbeck 10k a few times and wasn't sure what to expect when I saw new organisers and a new route. Overall I was pleasantly surprised. The race was really well organised - even down to dealing with the challenge of finding latecomers a parking space. The marshalls were many in number and always cheerful and encouraging. The 'town crier' with the bell at the start and the half way mark (how did he get there so quick without passing me?!) was a nice touch. It's an undulating course, none of the hills are too tough and every uphill was followed immediately by a "recovery" downhill. I'll definitely be doing it again as it's a great race in a great location...oh, and against all expectations I got a new PB here too :D
