Now proudly brought to you by Good Running Events in 2024, these reviews are from previous years and therefore previous organisation:

I loved this race! It starts in the Norfolk Showground where there is parking, toilets and changing facilities... The route takes you through some beautiful Norfolk countryside, and the course is fairly flat until you get near the end where it starts to undulate. Sophie B

It was a good route, scenic, picturesque even if cold and windy. Sarah S

As it's at the showground there is plenty of parking, and race marshals are on hand to direct runners the short walk to the registration area. The course is largely flat, and meanders through country lanes between villages and fields. Even in the pouring rain there was plenty of supporters, and everyone is really supportive and encouraging. I really loved doing this race and look forward to doing it again. Rob

It starts at the Norfolk Showground, which means there is lots of parking and loads of ACTUAL TOILETS!!! Sophie B
