Wymondham New Year’s Day 10k

Running enthusiasts are invited to lace up their shoes and explore the picturesque countryside around Wymondham for an unforgettable race experience. This NYD 10k, set on January 1st, 2027, starts at a brisk 10:00 am from Lady's Lane in Wymondham Central Hall.
The route winds through undulating rural roads that offer runners the chance to soak up stunning countryside views while navigating varied terrain. Participants can expect enthusiastic support from marshals along the way and will enjoy water stations strategically placed both at the halfway mark and upon crossing the finish line, where they'll also find snacks awaiting them.
Lady's Lane serves as both the starting point and finishing area for this scenic race, providing a convenient location to pick up your number on race day. Race HQ opens early at 07:45 am, allowing ample time for participants to collect their numbers before heading out onto the course. The event encourages runners to bring their own safety pins to minimize waste.
Once you've crossed the finish line, don't forget to grab a well-deserved reward in the form of an attractive and bespoke medal crafted especially for this race's runners. Race day refreshments include tea, coffee, and cakes available at Wymondham Central Hall – all proceeds benefitting a local charity (to be announced).
Safety is paramount during this event, as it takes place on roads open to traffic; therefore, headphones of any kind are strictly prohibited so that participants can stay alert. For those with loved ones cheering them on from the top of Lady's Lane, spectators should familiarize themselves with the route diversion details before race day.
