The Priory 100 km Ultra
The Priory 100 km Ultra follows the Northumberland coastline from near Bamburgh Castle to Tynemouth Priory. The waymarked, point to point route passes coastal and historic landmarks including Beadnell Harbour, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster Village and Warkworth Castle, then continues through Seaton Sluice, Whitley Bay and Cullercoats before the finish at Tynemouth Priory.
The course covers 100 km and has approximately 2,400 ft of elevation. The event is fully supported with five feed stations, extensive medical cover and marshals at key points. Feed stations are located at Low Newton, Boulmer, Warkworth Beach, Newbiggin and Blyth and provide VOOM Bars, VOOM Hydration, fruit, sweets, chocolate and savoury snacks.
Runners are tracked throughout the event and can be dot watched by others. There is a 24 hour cut off for completing the course. This is a point to point event so participants must make their own way to the start; a bag drop is available at registration and bags will be taken to the finish.
Mandatory kit requires a backpack containing water or fluids, a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts, food or gels, a headtorch if finishing after 9pm, and a lightweight jacket.
