Norfolk Festival Of Running
King's Lynn, United Kingdom • 12 Jul 2026
Norfolk Festival Of Running
The Norfolk Festival Of Running takes place at Bawsey Country Park, situated on the B1145 between the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Gayton. This multi-distance trail event is held in a park setting where the terrain consists of sand, gravel, and grass. Participants can choose from several distance options:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- 15 km
- Half Marathon
- Heavy Half Marathon (5 to 7 laps)
- Full Marathon
- Ultra Marathon (9 to 12 laps)
The event is organized in a lap-based format, with the Race HQ and an aid station located at the start and lap point. Because the course passes by the car park on every lap, there is no dedicated baggage area, and participants are encouraged to leave belongings in their vehicles. The race is conducted as a cupless event, requiring runners to bring their own bottles or cups for refilling at the water station.
The course is designed with straightforward logistics and minimal navigation requirements. Total time limits apply, including a six-hour cut-off for those starting at the earlier time slot. Parking is included in the entry fee, and participants must collect a parking code before leaving. Finishers receive either a bespoke event medal or a previous event medal depending on their registration choice. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
