West Acre Wild 10k Challenge

West Acre Wild 10k Challenge

The West Acre Wild 10k Challenge is an off road 10K held in Westacre, Norfolk, on 18/10/2026. The route follows undulating bridle paths and woodland tracks with a short paved section at the start. After that the course runs along farm and woodland paths that are generally dry, though a short farm track may be wet and muddy depending on recent rainfall. The route includes a number of optional obstacles. Just before the finish the course crosses the West Acre fords; a narrow walkway is available and runners who plan to run the fords are advised to have spare trainers and socks at the finish. Runners with dogs are allowed and will set off in advance of the main event.
