Well organised event. Kicked off pretty much on time and followed the quietest roads ever which were also closed roads. Good surfaces throughout. Barely a pot hole over 13.1 miles. Nice T shirt and medal on completion.

I always enjoy Run Nations events - really well organised, laid back, amazing volunteers and always an interesting route. Bamburgh teases you a few times - the castle comes into view and you think you’re nearly then then BAM, you’re off to the left for a few more miles! Loved it - thanks for having us!

Great race. Beautiful location, nice course, not terribly hilly just some steady inclines mixed with flat. T-shirt, medal, water and a granola bar at the end. Only issue is that there was no discount for parking for race participants which made it a very expensive entry.
Thank you Laura! So glad you enjoyed the race. Yes we understand, however we only pay for the road closure, we have no control over the price of parking, I'm sorry you felt it was expensive. Hopefully it didn't ruin your experience.
