The Roman Ramble

Swanton Morley, United Kingdom • 19 Apr 2026

Roman Ramble

The Roman Ramble is a running event organized by Zig Zag Running at Billingford Fishing Lakes & Country Park in Norfolk. The course is a trail run that incorporates a variety of terrain, including tarmac paths, grasslands, and rugged trails. Participants can choose between two different start waves, which provides a time limit of either four or six hours to complete their chosen distance.

The event features five distinct distances:

  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon
  • Marathon
  • Ultra

This is a cupless event, meaning participants are required to bring their own reusable cups or bottles for refilling at the aid station. The aid station is located at the base camp, which serves as both the start and the lap point of the route. All participants must be at least 18 years old to enter.

Upon completion of the race, all finishers receive a bespoke medal. There is an optional lucky dip entry available where participants can choose from a selection of medals from previous events. Finishers are also provided with a complimentary coffee and cake. The event includes chip-timed results and on-site parking is included in the entry price. Race bibs are collected on the day of the event from the registration area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
