Seaham - Half Marathon Route
Check out the route on Strava:

Park in the car park at Hetton Lyons Country Park - nearest postcode I could find is - DH5 0RH - but make sure you don't end up south of the park and get stuck in the industrial estate - check it out on Google Maps. The first 1km is uphill on country roads, but then there is a lovely 7-8 km all of the way down to the sea front. Then the sea front is a really nice 3-4km. The way back isn't quite as picturesque (and slightly up-hill) - you do get to take in the pleasure of the Dalton Park 10km RunNation route though :)

Strava Segment of note:
Right along the front - Pick up the pace for 2km along the sea front
