Run Norwich 2022 general entry opens soon!

General entry to Run Norwich 2022 (Sunday 17th July 2022) will now open at 9am on Thursday 17^th February.

The original general entry window to Run Norwich was postponed last week, due to an unforeseen technical issue with Active.com, the external entry system we use for the race.

Active have confirmed with us that their entry system is now fully operational.

Demand for the general entry places is expected to be the fiercest yet, so we urge would-be-entrants to ensure they are poised and ready at 9am on Thursday.

Capacity for the race, this year backed by principal sponsor Aviva, is set at 8,500 runners, with well over 3,000 spaces already snapped up by priority entrants.

We thank everyone for their patience and understanding over the past few days.
