HALF MARATHON 

The venue for the start and finish of the 2008 Tees Valley Leisure Redcar Half Marathon is the showfield at the Kirkleatham Village.  Starting on the Kirkleatham Lane adjacent to the showfield the route leaves Kirkleatham Village and takes in Marske before returning via the Coast Road and the seafront at Redcar en route back to the village.
