Back for 2023 – 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
The added twist in the 19km (approx) trail run is a timed special stage between the two Admiralty Distance Poles that stand high on the St Abb’s Head headland.
These two sets of poles sit on the cliffs to the west of St Abb’s Head and they are exactly a nautical mile apart. Normally used by ships to measure their performance, we will be using them to accurately measure yours! Tackle this special timed stage at top speed, it’s only a (nautical) mile after all. Oh, did we mention the poles are on either side of a ravine and include 120 meters of climb…
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.
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 has changed from 2022.
With slight modifications from last year, 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 depending on tide times may involve a small stretch of running on sand.
Follow the trail through Coldingham Village and along to St Abbs Head before heading to Pettico Wick, take in the views as you stride out along the stunning clifftop paths before getting your sprint on for the nautical mile. Ease off the pace as you join farmland trails and woodland paths leading you back to cross Coldingham Bay and head to the finish line.
Your athlete briefing is now here, please, please read it, it will answer some if not all of your questions. Please note the start/finish area has changed from last year and the course direction for the 19k run has also changed.

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.
It is winter so bring something warm to wear for before and after the race. For the race wear run clothing suitable for the weather on the day and make sure you are in your trail shoes, on-road trainers are not advised.
