Discover the charm and elegance of Hockwold Hall for our newest running venue. Nestled in the heart of Norfolk's breckland region, this former Royal Residence boasts stunning private grounds that are perfect for runners seeking an immersive experience. Hockwold Hall is renowned as a picturesque wedding destination with its lush gardens home to roaming peacocks. As you lace up your shoes and set off on one of four routes – from 5k to ultra distances – you'll be greeted by the estate's mature trees, open lawns, and period architecture that add an element of historical charm to every step. The course features a scenic loop through landscaped parkland and estate grounds. Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply enjoying the surroundings at your own pace, Hockwold Hall offers flexibility with no strict finish times. Every participant is celebrated equally upon crossing the line. Upon finishing, runners are treated to a medal, cake, water, squash, and coke available along the aid stations. The event also features chip timing for accuracy and an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes all levels of runners. Participants should note that this is a cupless event; please bring your own hydration supplies. Registration begins one hour before the start time at 11am sharp, allowing ample opportunity to explore the venue beforehand. Join us as we inaugurate Hockwold Hall's first running event and be part of an unforgettable day in a truly special setting. Everyone is celebrated equally here – come make history with us! Please note: Earlybird discounts are non-transferable should you need to transfer your entry later on.
