Pole to Pole: Coastal Trail Run – Start your year with this challenging event on the beautiful Berwickshire coast. This trail run includes a special timed stage with a nautical twist! Prizes awarded for the fastest runners on our special stage. Please note due to the date change the special timed stage is no longer applicable.
This is truly a multi terrain event with 17.5km of farm tracks, undulating cliff top paths, woodland trails, sandy beaches and even a little bit of tarmac. The route takes you out to the pretty village of St Abbs before climbing up to the sweeping clifftops with spectacular views out to sea before heading back inland via farm tracks and woodland paths which sweep you back to the beautiful Coldingham Bay.
The 5k takes you out towards the pretty village of St Abbs before heading back towards the beach via a cliff top path. The course then winds its way up to the finish line in the main village of Coldingham.
NEW for 2023/24: In a change to the previous format series prizes for this years events will be based on your best three placings. So enter the full series or the 5k series, take part in 3 events or more and you will gather points based on your placings. Meaning if you miss an event (or two) in the series you will still be eligible for prizes.
This run is a mixture of quiet roads, farm tracks and coastal paths. The course takes you from Coldingham to St Abbs, then back along the stunning cliff top paths, across Coldingham Bay to finally wind your way to the finish line.
Please note the course start/finish is now at Scoutscroft Caravan Park
With slight modifications due to the date change, the route comprises of off-road trail running using a range of paths, trails, minor roads and farmland. The start and finish will be at Scoutscroft Caravan Park and will involve a small stretch of running on sand.

The beach itself is about 1 kilometre long and 200 metres wide. It faces east so is a good place to catch the early morning sun. The clean sands are backed by plenty of grassy areas and the area itself has a relaxed, rural feel to it.
By Public transport – A regular bus service from Berwick-upon-Tweed (where there is a railway station) and passing through Eyemouth stops at both Coldingham village and St Abbs village.
