All Coastal Runners heading up north - the Tyne Tunnel will be closed the entire weekend of the 11th and 12th of July. So anyone venturing north will need to avoid it and find a route over the top of the Tyne, not under it.

That was a fetchie service announcement :)

Anyone running this in about 2hrs15mins?
I hope to get a lift to the race with another Fetchie:-)
If the furthest I have done/will do in training is 11miles: will I manage this course??

NRGEE - I ran my first half marathon on a max of 11 miles in training, and it was fine - the adrenaline should carry you through the last few miles. I know this is a tad further, and probably a bit more 'interesting' than most half courses, but if you take it easy you should be fine. I haven't done this before, and I'm really looking forward to it - I would estimate that I will be running it in roughly that sort of time as well :-)

Thanks Schnecke
I have run this run before and loved it. The scenery is outstanding. I love the bit where you run passed Dunstanbrough (sp?) castle. I have run it one year when the tide was coming in and the last half mile was thigh deep in water!! It's not a run for fast times. There was one part I remember that was across some algae covered rocks too:-0

OOO-er! Certainly sounds very 'interesting'!!! Sounds like I might need my flippers, or possibly waders ... ;-) I'm planning on bimbling along and enjoying the view (assuming we can actually see the view) without bothering about how long it takes me - mind you, if the tide's coming in, that might provide an incentive to speed up, I suppose :-O

I think the forecast for the tide is OK!!
You get your feet wet within the first hundred yards where there is a water jump thing(if my mind serves me right!)
Wear old trainers 'cos they are completely ruined during this run!!
I know runners that take it easy and stop at Craster for an Icecream en route!!
