North Norfolk 50
The North Norfolk 50 is an Ultra Challenge event based at Cromer Hall that follows the Norfolk coast and the Weavers Way. The main route is a relatively flat 55 km loop that passes through National Trust estates and woodland to North Walsham at the halfway point, then continues to the seaside village of Mundesley and along the Norfolk coastal path before returning to Cromer. The course includes sections of coastal cliffs and sandy beaches and is described as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty along parts of the route.
The event offers multiple distances:
- 55 km main loop
- 25 km shorter option
- 10 km shorter option
Support provisions include marquee rest stops approximately every 12.5 km with larger ones about every 25 km, catering for a range of dietary requirements, picnic provision at 25 km for 50 km entrants, and medical, podiatry, and massage teams. The route is fully signed with GPS tracking available through a Challenge App and timing scans at rest stops. Logistics options listed for the event include camping, parking, shuttle buses and transfers to local train stations, a solo start option, an Ultra March option, and a Trailblazerz option. Finish-line items include a medal, finisher T shirt, a glass of fizz and an optional hot meal for 10 km entrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
