This iconic road race takes in some of Scarborough’s most breath-taking coastline, setting off from the Spa Complex on South Bay, around the spectacular headland, along Marine Drive to

the Sea Life Centre before a final sprint down the South Bay and back to the Spa.

The main road race is followed by a 2.5k and 1.6k Family Fun Run, both of which are perfect for children and anyone wanting to run the race, but on a shorter route.

“It’s great to see the range of runners that take part every year - from toddlers charging around South Bay on the Family Fun Runs to people in their 80s completing the 10k route. Whether it’s their hundredth road race or their very first run, you can see that sense of achievement when they cross the finish line.”
