The Priory 100km Ultra
The Priory 100km Ultra is a point-to-point endurance event that follows the Northumberland coastline. The course begins near Bamburgh Castle and concludes at Tynemouth Priory. The route is waymarked and traverses a variety of coastal scenery and historical landmarks.
Participants pass through several notable locations, including Beadnell Harbour, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster Village, and Warkworth Castle. The later stages of the route guide runners through Seaton Sluice, Whitley Bay, and Cullercoats before reaching the final destination. The course consists of a mix of paths, trails, and road sections.
The event is supported by six feed stations located at Low Newton, Boulmer, Warkworth Beach, Druridge Bay, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, and Blyth. These stations provide hydration, energy bars, fruit, and snacks. Medical cover and marshals are positioned at key points along the route for participant safety. All runners are equipped with trackers, allowing for live progress monitoring.
Practical services for the event include:
- A shuttle bus service from the finish line to the start (pre-booking required).
- A bag drop service at registration, with bags transported to the finish line.
- A mandatory kit list including a backpack, fluids, mobile phone, food, and a lightweight jacket.
- A total time limit of 24 hours to complete the distance.
All finishers receive a metal medal, exclusive event merchandise, and food and drinks upon arrival at the finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
