Affectionately known as “The Charm Bracelet,” this trail half marathon offers participants a challenging yet picturesque journey along England’s northeast coastline. Runners will pass through charming coastal villages, traverse sandy beaches, and ascend cliffside paths, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the region. A notable landmark along the route is the ‘Circle’ sculpture, which inspired the event’s name. With a generous 5-hour cutoff, the race welcomes both runners and walkers aged 17 and over. Participants will receive a finisher’s medal, t-shirt, water, and snacks, with the option to plant a tree instead of receiving a t-shirt, supporting environmental sustainability.
