Race Logistics and Collection
Participants should note that no race materials will be sent by mail; all race numbers must be collected in person on the day of the event. The course follows the established Coast Road route, which is known for its accessibility and scenic views. After the 7:15 PM start, runners are invited back to the local Rugby Club for post-race refreshments, including standard bar fare, tea, and coffee. As a unique perk, participants can use their race bib on the evening of the event to receive a discount on their bar order.
Registration and Series Context
Online registration is currently open, with more than half of the 250 available spots already filled. While this race is part of a larger series—including an Easter 5 Mile, a Summer 5 Mile, and subsequent 5K races in July and September—there is no "series entry" option; runners must sign up for each event individually. Detailed maps for both the 5K and 5-mile routes are available on the official organizer website, nmhraces.net.

New Marske and the surrounding Redcar area feature a demographic profile that is approximately 97.6% White, with small percentages of Asian, Black, and mixed-heritage residents. The local economy is historically rooted in industry and coastal tourism, and the community maintains a strong tradition of club-based athletics.
