Visit our website and see last year's video, maps and see what top athletes had to say. Also take our virtual video tour of the course. Being on the newly developed seafront there are loads of good vantage points, with seats for spectators. There's a local crowd and plenty for family and friends to do after the race. Apart from the above, you will get access to the Sunderland Marriott Hotel with a large room for all to chat away those nerves and keep warm. It also has ample toilet facilities.
