With the start of a new year comes a new running challenge, a new destination, a new goal to work towards. After having gone North and West – and living on the East Coast – the only other obvious direction is the South. The problem was determining the end point of this year’s route, though, as the most obvious end would be London but realistically (and logistically) that would be too difficult in combination with other commitments.
After considering all possible options, we decided on heading South in the direction of Robin Hood’s Bay. We will be following the coastal path and off-road routes as much as possible.
The first section of the run will be done in January and we’ll be blogging about our progress on this site, as well as posting updates on our other social media channels.
Start and finish for each run:
1 Newcastle – South Shields (24.5K/15.3miles)
2 South Shields – Sunderland Stadium of Light (15K/9.3miles)
3 Sunderland Stadium of Light – Seaham (11.1K/6.9miles)
4 Seaham – Hartlepool (27.1K/16.9miles)
5 Hartlepool – Middlesbrough (16K/10miles)
Due to Covid restrictions and lockdowns it took us 2 years to complete this project.
