The Priory 100km Ultra

The Priory 100km Ultra is a waymarked A to B running event along the Northumberland coast. The course covers 100km from Bamburgh (Car Park, Links Road, NE69 7AX) to Tynemouth Priory, passing coastal towns and landmarks such as Beadnell Harbour, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster Village and Warkworth Castle. The route later continues through Seaton Sluice, Whitley Bay and Cullercoats before finishing at Tynemouth Priory.

The event is fully supported with six feed stations located at Low Newton, Boulmer, Warkworth Beach, Druridge Bay Country Park, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea and Blyth. Support provisions include extensive medical cover, marshals at key points, bag-drop facilities and live tracking of runners. A separate bag-drop option is available at Feed Station 3 (Druridge Bay Country Park). Shuttle transport from the finish back to the start can be booked or participants may make their own arrangements.

All runners must carry a backpack with mandatory kit: water and fluids, a fully charged mobile phone with emergency contacts saved, food or energy gels, a headtorch if finishing after 9pm and a lightweight jacket suitable for conditions. Organisers will check mandatory kit at registration. The event has an overall cut-off time of 24 hours. Finishers receive a metal event medal, event merchandise and food and drinks at the finish.
