- Half Marathon: Ascent of 3,200 feet, with a 5-hour time limit.

Venue and Logistics
Registration and the event start/finish is at the Sea Cadets Hall on Belmangate in Guisborough (TS14 7AQ). Parking at the venue is very limited and reserved for marshals; participants are asked to use nearby public car parks.
Compulsory Kit
A specific kit list is mandatory for all distances. This includes a waterproof jacket with taped seams, hat, gloves, a spare long-sleeved base layer, 500ml of water, a printed route map and description, an emergency survival bag and foil blanket, and a whistle. Marathon runners must also carry a headtorch or torch. The policy is strict: no compulsory kit, no run.
Entry Information

Prices are listed as £49/£51 for the marathon, £36/£38 for the half marathon, and £28/£30 for the 10k (attached/unattached to UK Athletics). General entries open on 2nd November 2025.
