Responding to the emails since I last posted......
OOK! - I run for Portobello Running Club, with an altogether classier vest, although I've spent many years doing my training runs on and around Hunters Bog (which is the valley on Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh). I don't like the big city races either.
Colin - don't be put off by the description of the race. It starts on the beach at Beadnell Harbour, and goes South-East, basically along the coastline, but sometimes on the beach, sometimes on the coastal path, and for a couple of miles on minor roads through the villages. There are 800-1000 runners of all abilities, and unless you're expecting to do sub-90, you'll have plenty of company all the way round, and even then you'd be OK. No navigation is required, and certainly last year the combination of marshalls and supporters along the route made it very difficult to get off-route. I would really recommend the race.
As an aside, if you like races of this sort, you might want to consider the Seven Hills of Edinburgh race as well. It's on June 17th, and is around 14 miles (like the NCR), but with 2,200ft of climbing. This requires a bit more knowledge of the route, but it's a fun race.
Cheers,
Mark.
Two races around Keilder Forest - One is on roads/tracks (Road 10k) the other is more demanding forest trails etc ("Wild Race")

Most manufactuers do something similar under different names - Adidas is "cool dry", a generic name is technical or wicking
think i am aimimg to get round the chevy in no great time ie before the finish, and enjoy the coastal at a pleasant pace.
im doing 30 - 35 miles a week with a 15 - 18 miler road and about 6-8 miles round thrunton as part of the week.

I'm banking on sea fret for the NCR!
92% humidity...euw!
The race is traditionally hot with a stiff breeze off the sea - shades of Lawrence of Arabia. As you run north/south you get sun burned down the left hand side so lots of factor 50.
Keep quite about the Northumberalnd Coast or I'll have to kill you (Britain's best kept secret)
Either way the scenery is great but like OOK! says...don't tell everyone!
Thank you for the tips. See you all in a couple of weeks.
