Alnwick Harriers Coastal Run
27th July 2025 at 10.30
Alnwick Harriers will be once again hosting the Northumberland Coastal Run. We are keen to work closely with our community and environment so we are continuing to restrict our numbers to 1000. We will also be including a T-shirt in the cost of registration with an option to donate its value to our local charity, North Northumberland Hospice Care, if you don't require one.
Registration will open on the 1st of October 2024. We are opening earlier this year as we appreciate many people come and make the weekend a holiday, so there is more opportunity to book accommodation in advance. We are offering the option to transfer (please see this FAQ page) and this will be available up until six weeks prior to the event, June 15th 2025. Entries will be available up until the day of the event, however there will be no option for a T-shirt and/or a bus ticket after the 6 week point.
The cost this year will be the same as last year, £39 for affiliated runners and £41 for all those not affiliated. The coach to the start will be available at a cost of £6 per head.
Please follow the Alnwick Harriers website for updates and further information.

Transport
A bus transfer to the start is available at a cost of £6 and you will have the option to purchase this during the entry process - you must select to either have the bus ticket or not. Bus tickets cannot be purchased at a later date.
If you purchase the bus ticket, then your race number will also contain your ticket onto the bus - only those with pre-purchased tickets will be allowed to board.
Note that the bus only travels to the Beadnell start - there is no facility for transport back to the start at end of race!!
The bus transfer option will not be available for any entries made after June 15th 2025.
Parking
Parking at both Beadnell and Alnmouth is very limited. Please respect the village's wishes and park in the designated car park at the bus collection point at Hipsburn School. Clubs who normally bring buses should already have been contacted by a member of Alnwick Harriers to confirm which parking spot you have as there is no facility in Alnmouth for buses not booked in.

There will be a prize giving event at the end of the event and those not able to remain will have their prizes posted on.
