Beyond Newcastle has strict cut off times that will be enforced. The cut off times are to ensure that all participants have completed the route by 19:30.


55k Cut Off Points

Cut off point 1: At Feed Station 2 (outbound route on the Derwent Walk - ///sticky.deed.learn) which is approx. 33km from the start. Any participant who has not passed this point by 14:40hrs will not be permitted to continue the route into Chopwell Woods.


Cut off point 2: At Feed Station 3 (return route on the Derwent Walk - ///sticky.deed.learn) which is approx. 44km from the start. Any participant who has not passed this point by 17:00hrs will not be permitted to continue.


25k Cut Off Points

Due to the 25k being within the 55k route, a cut off is not necessarily required, however based on Feed Station opening times see cut off as follows.


Cut off point 1: At Feed Station 1 (Derwent Walk - ///sticky.deed.learn) - which is approx. 13km from the start. Any participant who has not passed this point by 17:00hrs will not be permitted to continue.


Finish cut off time for both 25k and 55k: The final cut-off time is 19:30 at the finish line on the Swing Bridge. Participants must cross the finish line before this time to receive a finishers medal and have a recorded time. Sunset will be approx. 20.33hrs.
