The route passes landmarks including Beadnell Harbour, Dunstanburgh Castle, Craster Village, Warkworth Castle, Seaton Sluice, Whitley Bay, and Cullercoats. The final route is to be confirmed and is expected to include approximately 2,400 ft of elevation. The waymarked event is fully supported with five well-stocked feed stations at Low Newton, Boulmer, Warkworth Beach, Newbiggin and Blyth. Feed stations will include VOOM Bars, VOOM Hydration, fruit, sweets, chocolate and savoury snacks. The event provides extensive medical cover and marshals at key points.

Runners will be tracked throughout the event, with live dot-watching available. There is a 24-hour cut off time. Mandatory kit to carry in a backpack includes water or fluids, a charged mobile phone with emergency contacts, food or gels, a headtorch if finishing after 9pm, and a lightweight jacket.
