← Northumberland Coastal Run

Well this race is one of my favourites of the year. I ran this back in 2017 so came back for more in 2018. What a contrast from 2017 to 2018, the race was still the same course and stunning, the weather was driving rain as 40mph winds... and of course it was a head wind and as it’s a point to point race there was no let up for us. Registration very easy but need to get online quick as this event sells out within hours. Race numbers sent out in plent time. As it’s a point to point race I recommend buying the bus ticket which allows you to park near the finish and the Alnwick Harriers who organise the event bus you to the start. The course is as the title says right along the coast taking in stunning scenery that Northumberland has to offer. Starts on the beach and feet will get wet from the start. Route is a mix of sand, water, trail, mud, road, grass and more sand. Finish is 1.5 along the beach to finish and great crowds and other runners to welcome and cheer you home. Nice finishers top (long sleeved top) along with water so all good. This event is in my top ten of all races I’ve done. A must for any runner who loves all terrains of running.
