The Wensum Way Trail

The Wensum Way Trail is a trail running event at Billingford Lakes, North Elmham Road, NR20 4RG, that follows sections of the Wensum Way within the park. The course is an out-and-back route measuring 5.3 km per lap and uses a mix of tarmac paths, grasslands, and rugged trails. Timed formats are offered, with four-hour and six-hour options.

An aid station will be located at base camp for food and water refills. The event is cupless, so participants should bring their own cups or bottles for refilling at the aid station. Parking is included with race entry. After finishing, participants receive a bespoke event medal and a complimentary coffee and cake are provided at the finish area. A Lucky Dip medal option may be available for some distances.

Lap structure for longer distances:

  • 5.3 km out-and-back lap.
  • Heavy half marathon standard is 5 laps, option to increase to 6 or 7.
  • Ultra marathon standard is 9 laps, option to increase up to 12 according to available time.

Entry prices vary by distance and category. The event combines lap-based distance choices with basic on-site support and finishing amenities at Billingford Lakes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
