Set yourself an exciting new challenge and hike along the beautiful Northumberland Coast!
Mighty Hikes are an award-winning series of marathon and half marathon hikes, taking place in some of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of the UK. If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit, a memorable day out with friends and family, and a chance to celebrate or remember a loved one, then Mighty Hikes are for you.
And it doesn’t matter if you’re lacing up your boots for the first or fiftieth time – you'll be supported every step of the way!
The Northumberland Coast Mighty Hike is one of the most beautiful, and least hilly, routes in the series, starting at the iconic Alnwick Castle before walking along the beautiful sweeping beaches and fishing villages of the Northumberland Coast.
With trek masters, signposted routes, medics, and toilets all along the route, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
Regular pit stops with snacks and refreshments, a fresh buffet lunch and a hot meal waiting for you when you finish.
At the finish line you’ll be greeted with cheers, fizz and of course your Mighty medal.
You'll be able to treasure your Mighty Hike memories forever, as all your professional photos are free to download.
Once you sign up, you’ll have access to expert training advice and fundraising tips to smash your £250 target.

You will need to be prepared for all weather and bring all the essentials needed for the hike. A full kit list is readily available.
Your family and friends can meet you at the finish event village to cheer you across the finish line. However, they will not be able to accompany or meet you at any of the pit stops.
Unfortunately, no dogs can take part in a Mighty Hike with the exception of assistance dogs. This includes at any of the start and finish venues.
The hike starts in the picturesque grounds of Alnwick Castle, a 12th Century stronghold. The majority of the hiking route is along the Northumberland Coastal Path, a hugely popular hiking route, due to the largely flat nature of the pathway, and the sublime coastal views that unfold around each corner. Huge unspoilt expanses of sand make up famous beaches and bays, and with impressive and imposing castles lining the route, this is sure to be an unforgettable hike.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for such an incredibly well organised event! Everything ran like a well-oiled machine (and the food was amazing!). Angela, Northumberland Coast 2024
Thank you to the organisers of this amazing event. Where else in the world would you see such spectacular scenery! Jimmy, Giant’s Causeway 2024
It was the best organised event I have attended. The volunteers that cheered us on were amazing. Feet are in bits but worth every step to raise funds for a great cause. David, hiker of the Giant's Causeway
The food was amazing, the toilets all clean, the cups of tea were amazing!! Deanna, Norfolk Coast 2024
I hiked this marathon in memory of my late partner. It was, and will be one of the best things I’ve ever done. Phillipa, Mighty Hiker 2023
