What you’re in for
The May race out of East Hull, 5k to marathon along the Hornsea Rail Trail. The course runs out of East Hull along the Hornsea Rail Trail, the old railway line that is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail, from Pelican Park recreation ground into the countryside towards Hornsea and back. Out-and-back for the shorter distances; the 20 Mile is the 10 Mile twice and the marathon is that plus a 10k.
Terrain and trail
Old railway bed: flat, straight and even, on compacted gravel and tarmac with grass verges. As easy underfoot as anything Grim run, and the flattest course on their calendar. Exposed to the wind off the Holderness plain, which is the only difficulty. 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.
