Description
The Charm Bracelet Marathon is far from your typical road race. Set against the wild and breathtaking backdrop of England’s northeast coast, this point-to-point trail run takes you on a raw, rugged journey from Redcar to the historic town of Whitby. Along the way, you’ll follow a stretch of the King Charles III England Coast Path and the dramatic cliffs of the Cleveland Way — with crashing waves on one side and vast open skies above.
It’s not just the views that make this marathon special. The terrain is as varied as the scenery: expect mud, sand, woods, and wind-swept hills. It’s a challenge, yes, but also a deeply rewarding experience for anyone who loves running with purpose and soul. You’ll pass the symbolic “Charm Bracelet” sculpture — the event’s namesake — somewhere between miles seven and eight, a reminder that this isn’t just a run; it’s a journey with meaning. And in true trail spirit, the race supports sustainability, offering the chance to plant a tree instead of taking a t-shirt.
Whether you’re chasing a new challenge or craving a connection with nature, this race is an invitation to get off the beaten path — quite literally. Visit the organizers’ website to explore more about this beautifully different marathon.
