Route information
THE COURSE
Marathon
The route will now be a faster route with a spectacular start on the Humber Bridge in the shadow of the north tower, runners will run out and back on the southbound bridge deck, meaning the toughest part of the course is completed first.
In mile 7 of the marathon will be a timed 100 metre sprint sponsored by KCOM on the Athletics track at Costello Stadium. We believe this unique feature enables runners to have a go at testing themselves mentally and physically.
Relays
We are once again hosting both the 2 person & 4 person relay races, with the assistance of Fitmums & Friends at the three change over points. Following the same route as the marathon, these present runners the chance to still be part of the atmosphere if a marathon is a challenge too far. Form a pair or a team from work, a community group or your running club. Run just to help improve your fitness, achieve a challenge, raising funds for one of our charity partners or all of these!

ARRIVEL
Allow ample time to get to the start. Shuttle buses will run from the finish area with picks up also available in central Hull from 7am and take approximately 20 minutes. You will need to allow to drop your bag, use the toilet facilities and warm up in the start area.

Road closures
Following consultation with the local authorities, the route will be run on mostly closed roads. The route has been amended for 2019 following a review with the authorities. Please be aware of reduced access to some areas and a need to take alternative routes. By following suggested diversion you’ll minimise delays to your journey.
Note that roads are closed safely before the first runner may appear to allow time to clear traffic in all directions safely.
Baggage Area
We will have baggage storage on race day. Please use the tag in your race registration pack to label your bag clearly with your race number. Relay runners will be able to have their bag transported via the shuttle buses to collect at the end of their leg. Marathon runners bags will be transported from the start to the finish thanks to Wren Kitchens.
The baggage area will be clearly signposted and is open to all runners. Relay runners will have their bags transported to/from their respective start/finish points.
Helpdesk
The help desk, manned by our awesome volunteers, will be open throughout the event. If you have any issues regarding things like race pack collection or missing items don't hesitate to stop by and we will be glad to help!
Spectator Info
Spectators are encouraged to come along and view the race from many prime spots. Spectators are encouraged to cycle round the course to spectate as driving may be challenging due to road closures. Cyclists should adhere to the highway code and not use footways or pavements.
What can my family/friends do whilst they wait for me?
They can watch the race around the course, support the fun run, get refreshments and cheer on other runners coming into the finish. If they are planning to spectate around the course, they should take account of the road closures that will be in place and restrictions on other adjoining roads. We are looking at provision of shuttle buses that spectators can use to travel the course to see runners at different points.
