The Kingdom of Northumbria Coastal Ultra 2027
The event is an A to B ultra trail running event along the Northumberland coast, starting near Bamburgh Castle and finishing at Druridge Bay Country Park. The route passes Beadnell Harbour, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster Village, and Warkworth Castle.

The longer route is served by well stocked feed stations at Low Newton, Boulmer, and Warkworth Beach. The 27 km route has a feed station at Warkworth Beach. Routes are available to view and download from the organiser.
This is an A to B event. Runners must book the shuttle bus from the finish to the start before the event or arrange their own transport to the start. The shuttle runs only before the race; there are no buses after the event. A bag drop will be available at registration and all bags will be transported to the finish.
Runners must carry a backpack containing water or fluids, a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts, food or gels, a headtorch if they finish after 4:30 pm, and a lightweight jacket. There is a strict cut off at 6:00 pm and anyone not at the final feed station by 4:30 pm will not be allowed to continue.
Live chip timing will be used. All finishers receive a metal event medal, an event T shirt, and snacks and drinks. Car parking at Druridge Bay Country Park is payable for all visitors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
