Norfolk Festival of Running

Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Bawsey Country Park at our unique running event designed specifically for endurance athletes and casual runners alike. This is a chance not just to run, but to explore and enjoy one of England's most picturesque landscapes while setting your own pace and distance goals.
The event offers participants an incredible 6-hour window in which they can run as far or as little as desired. Whether you're aiming for the ultra marathon challenge by pushing yourself beyond traditional limits, or simply looking to complete a shorter distance like a leisurely 5k, this race is tailored to accommodate all levels of runners.
With no set route length but rather an open invitation to explore various trails within Bawsey Country Park, participants have the freedom to create their own journey. Whether you're seeking the thrill of pushing your physical boundaries or simply enjoying the tranquility and natural beauty that surrounds you, this event promises a memorable experience for everyone involved.
For those who complete at least 5k during these six hours, a well-deserved medal will be waiting upon crossing the finish line. This tangible reward serves as both an achievement marker and keepsake of your day's efforts in one of England’s most enchanting natural settings.
Participants are encouraged to come prepared with appropriate gear for their chosen distance and expected weather conditions but rest assured, no matter how ambitious or relaxed your approach, this event is sure to provide a rewarding experience that blends personal challenge with the serenity found only within Bawsey Country Park's lush greenery and winding pathways.
Join us at Bawsey Country Park as we celebrate running in all its forms—whether it’s pushing past limits during an ultra marathon or enjoying a peaceful stroll along less-traveled paths. This is your opportunity to create lasting memories, test new personal boundaries, meet fellow enthusiasts, and of course, earn that coveted finisher's medal after completing at least 5k.
Remember, while the official timing ends after six hours, your journey through this beautiful park can continue as long as you wish beyond the event’s conclusion. So lace up those shoes, choose a distance or pace that suits your style best, and prepare to make the most out of what promises to be an unforgettable day in one of England's premier running destinations.
