Race route

This year’s race route remains unchanged, with the 10-kilometre course starting from outside the Norwich Theatre Royal.

The scenic city centre course takes in iconic landmarks such as Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral and Carrow Road – view it here.

Supporting the community

Since 2017, we’ve been able to keep our entry costs frozen. This year, to meet the ever-increasing costs of putting on the event, entry will now be £28 for UK Athletics affiliated entry and £30 for general entry.

As ever, any proceeds generated from the race will support the Community Sports Foundation’s charitable work in the community. Initiatives the charity run include its Run For Me programme – a free mental wellbeing running group that meets weekly at The Nest.

Running for your own cause

If you’d like to run for a charity or cause close to your heart, you’ll need to secure a general entry place first.

Once you’ve secured entry, make contact with your charity or cause; they may be able to support you with your fundraising
