Redcar, United Kingdom • 12 Apr 2026
Charm Bracelet Marathon : Redcar to Whitby
The Charm Bracelet Marathon is a coastal trail running event held from Redcar Beach Base to the fishing town of Whitby. The route is approximately 26.5 miles and follows sections of the Cleveland Way, passing coastal villages and the 'Circle' sculpture between miles 7 and 8. Runners encounter a mix of surfaces including sand, cliffs, rocks, trees and muddy sections. Total ascent on the course is listed as 3263 ft, so the route includes sustained climbs and descents.
The event is organised as a trail run with a 10 hour cutoff, which accommodates walkers as well as runners. Entry capacity is limited to 300 places. Age eligibility for the event is 18 or older. Prizes are awarded for first male, female and non-binary finishers, and first male and female in the 50, 60 and 70 age categories.
The organiser describes the course as a varied coastal experience rather than a flat road marathon. Participants should expect uneven underfoot conditions and navigation along coastal paths and beaches. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
