Run Norwich 2026 - Corporate Challenge now open

Entries for the fourth edition of the Run Norwich Corporate Challenge are now open.

Returning for 2026, and open to all existing entrants, the Challenge will crown the fastest business or organisation represented at this year’s race.

Last year, Lotus claimed first place for the second year running, with Flagship Group and Alan Boswell Group making up the podium. Who will be crowned the fastest business at Run Norwich this year?

For the first time this year, we will be introducing both a Men’s and a Women’s category, based on feedback from 2025’s Corporate Challenge. There will be separate awards for the winners of each category.

About the Challenge

Each team can have 4+ members entered, on the proviso all are current employees and all are currently entered into Run Norwich.

It’s completely free to enter your team, although each business/organisation may only enter one team each into 2026’s Corporate Challenge.

Your nominated team captain/main contact can register your team’s details here.

Entry to the Challenge is open to all current Run Norwich entrants, irrespective of whether you are already representing a running club, charity or originally entered using ACTIVE’s (our entry system) Team function.

Please note: If your organisation is a Run Norwich sponsor, you will automatically be entered into the Corporate Challenge.
