The Cycle
56 Miles
The Epic HALF Bike Ride rolls gently out of Druridge Bay Country Park before a flat and fast start around the nearby country roads. The HALF ride takes in WARKWORTH, ALNMOUTH, BEADNEL, SEAHOUSES, BAMBURGH, CRASTER & AMBLE. With very few steep climbs and an overall elevation of 2000ft over 56 miles the ride will appeal to all types of rider. With some stunning views along the Northumberland Coastline, taking in many of the Castles along the way you are sure to be kept entertained on the longest part of your journey. A flat finish back into Druridge Bay and T2 will have you ready to tackle part 3.
The Run
13.1 Miles
All of the 1/2 Marathon Run is around the paths, trails, roads of Druridge Bay Country Park. The 6.55 mile lap is flat and fast and perfect for spectators who can see the athletes numerous times per lap. The run starts with a lap of Ladyburn lake before an out and back section along the closed coast road. The firm trail of the Northumberland Coastal Route then takes runners to the furthest point of the run before heading back round to the main event area and onto the 2nd lap. Runners will love all the encouragement they will get from other athletes and supporters around the Park making it feel shorter than it actually is. The finish line then awaits and the immense satisfaction of saying “I AM A GEORDIEMAN!”
