Bure Valley 10 Miles

On Sunday, September 27th, the BVH 10-mile road race returns for its tenth anniversary edition. The scenic course winds through quiet country lanes surrounding Banningham village in Norfolk and culminates on the charming village green right beside the welcoming Banningham Crown Pub.
This year’s event promises to be a memorable one with special touches such as an exclusive ten-year commemorative medal, spot prizes drawn before the race starts, and awards for those who have completed all previous races. The top male and female runners will each receive £50, while second-place finishers in both categories take home £30, followed by £20 for third place.
Additional incentives include free entry to next year’s event for first-place winners aged 17-39 as well as those who secure the lead position within five-year age bands from 40+. Team awards will also be given based on accumulated times, offering an extra layer of competition and camaraderie. The top senior male and female teams each earn £20, along with the same amount for first-place masters (over-35) male and female teams.
For those aiming to break records, a £50 cash bonus awaits anyone who sets a new course record. Current best times stand at 52:45 minutes for men and 59:39 minutes for women.
Participants must adhere strictly to the no-headphones policy due to safety concerns on open roads shared with traffic.
