41mile Start time from whitehead will be 9.00am.
Registration: You will make your way to the finish line in Donaghadee to register where you will be bused to the various starts, the 41mile bus will leave at 7.30am to take you to the start in Whitehead.
(We will be aiming to start the Marathon at 10.00am and Half Marathon will aim to start at 11.00am bus departure times from Donaghadee to the relative start locations TBC )
The route will start from, Whitehead Lighthouse and will follow the coastline all the way round to Donaghadee. Using footpaths and coastal paths with some trail sections. The route is mainly flat with only around 200m total ascent across the whole 41miles, those of you looking to get a fast run should be able to achieve a really good time.
All distances will follow the same route but will start at different points and times along the route.
As with all of our events, you will now have the option of using either a GPX route on your own device we will supply the route, or you can use our tried and tested road book for directions, this is an easy to follow step by step instruction book NO map reading skills are needed. (We may introduce a tracker for the Ultra and the Marathon this will be decided closer to the time and will also be cost dependant)
There will be no marshal's or additional signs on the course.
As with all of our events this will be a self-sufficient event, you must be able to carry enough food and water to last you for the duration of your chosen event, we will supply water to refill your water bottles at certain locations along the route these will be confirmed closer to the event date.
