Marriott's Way Marathon

Marriott's Way Marathon and Half Marathon

The event takes place on 21 February 2027 along Marriott's Way and raises funds for the East Anglian Air Ambulance. This is the third year of the event and it offers both marathon and half marathon distances.

• Marathon
• Half Marathon

The full marathon follows Marriott's Way from Norwich while the half marathon starts at Whitwell and Reepham Station. Both races finish at Aylsham Friendship Hall. The route is largely traffic free and described as easy to follow. The course has not been measured by a UKA approved course measurer, so distances are approximate. Organisers provide generous time allowances: the marathon has 8 hours to reach the finish and the half marathon has 4 hours.

Entry is limited to 200 participants overall. Minimum ages on race day are 18 for the marathon and 17 for the half marathon. Coach transport to both starts is available at an extra cost of £12 and the coaches depart from Aylsham Market Place, NR11 6EL. Race numbers are collected on race day; those taking the coach receive numbers as they board. Registration takes place at St Luke's Church Centre, Aylsham Road, and at Whitwell and Reepham Station.

Runners receive a unique finisher medal. Water and snacks are provided on the route, first aid cover is available, and hot drinks and snacks are offered at the finish in Aylsham Friendship Hall. Prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in the female and male/open categories. The event is licensed by the ARC and held under UK Athletics Rules, permit ARC/27/0007.

Entry fees are listed separately for affiliated and unaffiliated entrants: marathon UKA member £46, marathon non member £48; half marathon UKA member £36, half marathon non member £38. A 5% donation from each entry goes to East Anglian Air Ambulance and a verified £2 reduction applies for UK Athletics members. Entries close 14 February 2027.
