SHEEPY SHUFFLE 2022 ~ VIRTUAL HALF MARATHON and 5K FUN RUN. OUR VERY OWN ‘RIGHT ROYAL SHEEPY SHUFFLE’.

13.1 SHEEPY SHUFFLE £15 and 5K SHEEPY SHUFFLE £12

The Half Marathon & 5K events hold a road and multi-terrain UKA licence number: applied for.

For the last two years the Sheepy Shuffle event has sold out with huge demand for us to do it again. We are very proud this year be able to host ‘A Right Royal Sheepy Shuffle’ in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We are incredibly pleased to be able to offer two distances again, choose from the half marathon distance or 5K distance. We have kept the prices the same as last year because we understand that everyone is struggling with the increased cost of living. This virtual event is organised with kind support from Norwich Road Runners to raise funds for the Mirkwood Rest Home for Retired Sheep, an animal sanctuary in Lincolnshire which cares for rescued sheep.

Half Marathon; run or walk 13.1 miles on the route of your choice in one go. A combination of run/walking is also fine.

5K; run or walk 5K on the route of your choice in one go. A combination of run/walking is also fine.

The half marathon and/or 5K can be completed any time between 1st June and 31st August 2022. We have allowed three months this year to coincide with the Jubilee Bank Holiday at the beginning of June.

Entry includes a fun race bib with the number 70 marking the number of years the Queen has reigned for, this is downloadable once you have entered. A ‘ewe-nique’ 7cm bespoke medal picturing a royal sheep wearing a crown on a running track (posted) and a certificate which will be emailed to you after the event. The medal is the same for both events, but the purple & white ribbon is different and reflects the distance covered. We also have a very lively dedicated Facebook race page: Sheepy Shuffle Facebook race page

Once you have completed your run/walk simply log back into the Total Race Timing website and manually put in your finishing time along with a link to your Strava or Garmin if you wish.

Medals will be posted after you have completed your 13.1 miles or 5K and logged your time.

Please complete your 13.1 and or 5K miles in a responsible and safe way. Hi-viz is advisable if you will be on roads or crossing roads. Take liquid and snacks with you as necessary and choose the safest time of day to run based on weather conditions etc.

Half marathon open to ages 17 and over. 5K open to everyone but children under the age of 11 should be accompanied by an adult. All entrants complete the virtual event at their own risk.
