Discover the stunning Coquet Valley as you lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable race day experience. Participants have three distance options to choose from: half marathon, 10k, or a shorter but no less scenic 5k course. The half marathon and 10k routes wind through rolling hills that challenge even the most seasoned runners with their elevation changes, providing breathtaking views of the valley's lush landscapes and charming villages along the way. These courses are designed for those who seek both beauty and endurance in one exhilarating run.

The route is crafted for efficiency and enjoyment, ensuring every runner can enjoy the scenery while focusing on personal bests. Whether you're a seasoned athlete aiming to tackle the hills or a novice ready to explore this picturesque region under your own power, there's something in store for everyone at this event. Join us as we celebrate the spirit of running through one of England’s most beautiful valleys. Race day promises not just competitive racing but also an opportunity to connect with fellow runners and immerse yourself in the natural beauty that makes Coquet Valley a must-visit destination for sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
