Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon

About the Event

The Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon returns to the picturesque Norfolk Showground on Sunday, April 4th, 2027. Organized by Good Running Events, this iconic East Anglian race offers runners of all abilities and ages a scenic journey through the heart of Norfolk countryside.
Registration begins at 8:00 am with the half marathon starting promptly at 10:00 am from within the Showground site. Participants will enjoy fully closed roads along their route, ensuring an uninterrupted run that showcases the area's natural beauty. The race concludes by 1:30 pm, providing ample time for runners to relax and socialize in the event village.
A bespoke medal awaits every finisher, while chip timing ensures accurate results. Trophies are awarded to the top three male and female overall winners as well as first place in each age category. Marshals line the course to guide participants safely through their run, ensuring clear signage at all turns.
Medical teams will be on-site throughout the event, ready to assist any runner experiencing discomfort or requiring assistance. At least four water stations are strategically placed along the route for hydration needs during this 3.5-hour cutoff race.
Participants must adhere strictly to instructions from marshals and follow all signs; no pets, wheelchairs, or prams are allowed on course due to safety concerns. Bone-conducting headphones are permitted if they do not obstruct hearing of marshal commands.
Parking is available at the Norfolk Showground with details provided closer to race day via email one week prior. No refunds will be issued but transfer options remain open until March 21st, after which runners must contact organizers directly for any changes.
Photos and videos captured during the event will later be shared through post-race emails and social media channels, allowing participants to relive their experience long after crossing the finish line.
The Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon promises a memorable day out on one of Norfolk's most scenic routes. Don't miss your chance to join this celebrated running community for an unforgettable half marathon adventure.
