What you’re in for
The January race on the Bridlington seafront, 5k to marathon, and the name is fair warning. The course runs from the cliffs at Sewerby along the promenade through Bridlington and back, an out-and-back turning at a marshal. A hot meal at the Ship Inn at Sewerby is included at the finish, which is why the usual finish-line cake is not. The marathon is two laps of the half.
Terrain and trail
Paved promenade and clifftop path, flat and firm — road shoes, as the organiser says. Sea on one side the whole way, and in January that means wind and spray; there is nowhere to hide on the front. Ice on the promenade in a hard frost. Feed stations roughly every three miles with drinks, sweets and cake, and the events are cup-less, so bring your own cup or bottle. A GPX is supplied and not every junction has a marshal, so know where the turn is. Over-ear headphones are not allowed, and some road crossings are unmarshalled.
