At marathon distance, Sunderland's combination of coastal and riverside miles becomes its main training asset. The seafront at Roker and Seaburn stretches for miles in either direction on flat, paved ground, well-suited to the sustained long runs a marathon training block needs. The River Wear path heading inland from the Wearmouth Bridge adds more flat miles for the days when the coastal wind isn't favourable. Not quite ready for the full thing? Half marathons in Sunderland are a good place to find out.
