Northumberland Coastal Trail Run

The Northumberland Coastal Trail Run takes place in Bamburgh and features a linear course layout. The event explores the Northumberland coastline, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty characterized by sandy beaches, rolling dunes, rocky cliffs, and views of Bamburgh Castle. The terrain is classified as moderate, consisting primarily of sand and dunes.

Participants can choose from four distinct distances:

• 10K: A distance of approximately 6.4 miles with 190 feet of ascent.
• Half Marathon: A distance of 13.1 miles with 463 feet of ascent.
• Marathon: A distance of 27.8 miles with 1,266 feet of ascent.
• Ultra: A distance of 36.1 miles with 1,631 feet of ascent.

The courses are fully marked with signs, and electronic timing is used to provide instant results and split times. As this is part of the Endurancelife season, runners earn points toward a season leaderboard based on their performance.

Bib numbers are collected on the morning of the event at the main marquee in Bamburgh or at the start line using a mobile phone. Optional coach transport is available to transport runners to the start lines of the linear routes, and dogs are permitted on these coaches.
