CBTE The Charm Bracelet Marathon

The Charm Bracelet Marathon invites runners to explore one of England’s most picturesque coastal routes, stretching 26.5 miles along the north east coast from Redcar beach to Whitby, a charming fishing town nestled on the Yorkshire coastline.
As you embark on this journey through Cleveland Way, prepare for an immersive experience that combines stunning natural beauty with challenging terrain. The route winds past quaint coastal villages and includes sections of sandy beaches where runners can feel the soft sand beneath their feet. High above, the cliffs offer breathtaking views out to sea, making every step a feast for the eyes.
A highlight along this scenic course is the iconic ‘Circle’ sculpture, affectionately known as 'The Charm Bracelet', which inspires both the marathon's name and its spirit of adventure. This trail running event isn’t just about distance; it’s an encounter with nature in all its raw beauty—mud, sand, rocks, trees—it’s a race that tests your endurance on varied surfaces.
With 3263 feet of elevation gain over the course of 26.57 miles, this marathon is not for those seeking flat terrain or easy runs. It's designed to challenge runners who thrive in diverse and demanding conditions. The event welcomes all participants with a generous 10-hour cutoff time that accommodates walkers as well.
Limited spots are available—only 300 places ensure an intimate yet vibrant race atmosphere. Winners across various categories, including male, female, non-binary, and age-specific divisions for runners over 50 years old, will receive trophies to commemorate their achievement.
For those who wish to secure a spot but need flexibility due to unforeseen circumstances, the option to purchase XCover is available, providing peace of mind with potential refunds if necessary. Join us on this unforgettable adventure along England’s enchanting coast.
