CBTE The Charm Bracelet Half Marathon

Experience one of Britain's most breathtaking coastal routes with The Charm Bracelet Half Marathon, set along the picturesque northeast coast. This scenic 14.35-mile journey from Redcar beach to the historic fishing village of Staithes offers runners a unique blend of sandy beaches and rugged cliffs.
As you traverse through charming coastal villages, keep an eye out for the iconic 'Circle' sculpture between miles seven and eight – it's a local landmark that adds charm and character to your run. The terrain is varied and challenging, with sections on soft sand, rocky paths, and muddy trails along the Cleveland Way, making this event more than just a half marathon; it’s an adventure through nature.
With 1591 feet of elevation gain throughout the course, runners should prepare for undulating hills that test both stamina and determination. The route is designed to immerse participants in natural beauty while providing opportunities to pause and admire views from high cliff points along the way.
This event welcomes all levels of athletes, including walkers who will appreciate a generous five-hour cutoff time. Limited spots are available for those seeking an exclusive experience on one of England’s most scenic routes.
Competitors can look forward to earning recognition with trophies awarded in various age categories: first place male and female overall, non-binary category winners, as well as top finishers aged 50, 60, and over 70. Additionally, participants have the option to purchase XCover insurance for peace of mind should unforeseen circumstances prevent attendance.
The Charm Bracelet Half Marathon promises an unforgettable blend of coastal beauty, challenging terrain, and a supportive community atmosphere that makes it stand out among half marathon events in Britain.
