Cold Brew Events presents an exhilarating ultramarathon experience along the legendary St. Oswald's Way, offering runners three challenging options: 50 kilometers, 100 kilometers, and a grueling 100-mile course that showcases Northumberland’s diverse landscapes. The race begins on Holy Island, where participants are greeted by breathtaking coastal vistas dotted with historic islands and castles. As the route progresses inland, it winds through picturesque countryside towards Hadrian's Wall, weaving past scenic river valleys, rolling hills, charming villages, dense forests, and expansive farmlands. Each distance is meticulously tracked to ensure accurate timing for all competitors. Upon crossing the finish line at one of several designated locations, runners are awarded a commemorative medal and T-shirt as tokens of their achievement. For added convenience, bus transfers from each finish location back to the start line on race morning make it easy for participants to return home or prepare for another day of racing. To provide peace of mind, XCover is available for purchase, allowing racers to receive a refund in case they are unable to participate due to unforeseen circumstances. This event promises an unforgettable journey through some of Northumberland’s most stunning scenery and terrain. Join Cold Brew Events as we explore the beauty and challenges that await along St. Oswald's Way.

About Northumberland
Learn more about the host city, Northumberland.
Northumberland is a rural county in North East England, on the England-Scotland border. It contains one of the most picturesque and untouched stretches of coastline in the United Kingdom and contains rolling hills and low mountains in the sparsely populated interior.
Northumberland feels a world away from London and the south of England in terms of its ruggedness, sense of remoteness, its culture and its geography. It has a distinctly more Scottish feel to it than English and at its closest point is a mere 45 minutes from the Scottish capital.
