If you're new to the course or want to remind yourself of the key sections, have a look at our (experimental) photographic run-through of the course. The photos were taken at 3pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon, when everyone was out for a drive, so the roads may look busy. Rest assured that early on a Sunday morning (race time) they are quiet.

We couldn't put on the race without the help of our sponsors, so we'd like to say a huge "Thank You" to:

North East Vending Gelder's Pies, FM Foods, The NHS 5 a Day Scheme, Northumbrian Water
