West Acre Wild 10k Challenge

West Acre Wild 10k Challenge

The event is an off road 10 km run that follows undulating bridle paths and woodland tracks through Norfolk countryside. The route begins with a short section of paved road and then continues on farm and woodland paths. A small length of farm track may be wet or muddy depending on recent rainfall.

There are several optional obstacles on the route that entrants may choose to attempt. The course crosses the West Acre fords just before the finish; the fords can be crossed using a narrow walkway. Runners who intend to run through the fords are advised to have spare trainers and socks available at the finish.

Event headquarters and registration are located adjacent to The Stag pub, with registration opening at 09:00 am on the day. Parking is available off Walton Road with access to The Stag, and entrants are asked to avoid driving into West Acre village. Race numbers are collected at event registration.

A water point is provided at the 5 km mark. There is no formal bag drop; the nearby car park is a short distance from the start and belongings may be left at event HQ at the entrant's own risk. Portable toilets will be available at event HQ and at the start and finish.

All entrants receive a bespoke West Acre Wild Stag medal. Tea, coffee, squash and a selection of cakes will be available at the finish. Ten entrants chosen at random will receive spot prizes and a raffle will take place. Proceeds support the Purfleet Trust. Entries are non-refundable and cannot be deferred; transfers to another runner are allowed until midnight on 10/10/2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
