Participants started on the beach at Tynemouth Haven and completed two 375m laps in the mouth of the Tyne. At the end of lap one participants left the water in an Australian style exit, run a short way along the beach and then re-enter the water to complete their second lap. After finishing the swim, the participants transitioned and started their 5k run by heading past the Collingwood Monument towards the River Tyne and along towards the redevelopments of North Shields Fish Quay. They returned along the riverside promenade, past the race start, and then run along the North Pier with the North Sea to either side. At the end of the pier participants turned around and headed towards the finish line with the magnificent Tynemouth Priory staring down at them.
