Experience the breathtaking landscape and nature of the Aberdeenshire coast. The marathon route takes you to the Ythan river estuary and then 17K down the beach to the Don river estuary. After crossing the bridge you will run along the beach promenade before reaching the turn point near the Beach Ballroom. You will then head back north up the beach to Newburgh. Possibly the marathon with the highest proportion of beach running in the world.
The half marathon and 10K routes also go south down the beach but you will turn back earlier.
