Record numbers enter race

Following a record-breaking number of entries during entry week, thousands of runners have already secured their spot for this summer’s race.

With just seven days elapsed since we opened entries, general entry for the race is 70% full – meaning the window to secure a place is fast diminishing for prospective entrants.

This year’s field, which will be the largest yet, sees a wide range of participants:

• 19% of entrants are running a 10km for the first time
• 13% of runners have entered every single Run Norwich event so far
• 17% of general entrants are affiliated to a running club
• Male entrants: 52% Female entrants: 48%

The race has attracted entrants from countries including Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Russia, UAE, Spain and USA.

The race returns on Sunday 5th August 2018 with an unchanged route that takes place in the heart of Norwich city centre passing landmarks such as The Forum, Norwich Castle, Carrow Road, and Norwich Cathedral.

Aside from general entry, entrants can also choose to claim a free charity place and run for this year’s official race charity, the Community Sports Foundation.
