DRURIDGE BAY COUNTRY PARK
Kick off your Geordieman weekend with a relaxed social shakeout run before registration opens.
Join us at 2:00pm on Saturday for an easy-paced 3–4 mile run starting from the Geordieman event village at Druridge Bay. Whether you're racing the Full, Half, Swim Only, supporting a friend, or simply fancy a social run by the coast, everyone is welcome.
You don't need to be taking part in Geordieman to join us. If you're local, on holiday, or just want to enjoy a relaxed run with a great group of people, we'd love to see you there.
This is a chance to loosen the legs, chat with other runners and triathletes, calm the pre-race nerves, and enjoy the beautiful coastline before the big day. There'll be no pressure, no timing, and no one gets left behind—we'll keep the pace relaxed and social throughout.
Once we're back, event registration opens from 3:00pm, making it the perfect opportunity for Geordieman participants to collect their race packs after the run.
