I'm signed up for this year's race. In order to plan my trip I need to understand a few things. What's the best (and quickest) way to get back from the finish? Would it change anything, if I were among the sub-elites? Any additional assistance provided to them? Is It doable to fly out Sunday afternoon / evening (like after 5pm)?
Would be great if anybody out there could provide useful information.
Bump
Jog to South Shields Metro station, 15 mins max.
Train back to Newcastle - allow 30 mins for train to depart and then arrive in city centre. Lots of trains at that time.
Yes you can fly out of Newcastle Airport Sunday afternoon, but you need to book that flight now. Plenty of trains south towards London too.
There are lots of specially arranged buses from the finish that go back to the city centre.
If you're in the elite start it's longer to get away because of the hospitality at the finish after the race before their bus goes back.
Thanks for the useful information!
