Race to the Castle

Head off from the start line in to the hilly woodlands and stunning moorlands of the fames Northumberland National Park. Abundant with wildlife, see if you can spot the renowned red squirrel before following the trail along the River Coquet all the way to basecamp. Carrying on your Ultra Marathon journey, you will soon hit the coastline which will accompany you for the rest of the day. Navigate the sandy trails before finishing in Bamburgh where celebrations and jubilation await you! This is a challenge for all, inclusive of all ages, experience and fitness levels.
