Here’s the big one, a road Marathon taking place in glorious Norfolk!

There is also now a Half Marathon option this year, with the same start and finish line as the full marathon, so everyone will feel part of the same event.

EPIC Norfolk are organising this fantastic event, the finish line is breathtaking and will overlook Cromer Pier with a stunning view of the sea. You can view the routes here. Full Marathon: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/5650182013. Half Marathon: https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6084038380.

Race Entry

Full Marathon: Affiliated entry £43 + booking fee, Unaffiliated entry £45 + booking fee.

Half Marathon: Affiliated entry £33 + booking fee, Unaffiliated entry £35 + booking fee.

You can select a charity place for free, (you can only fundraise for a charity from the list), and by doing so you agree to raise a minimum of £250 for that charity and consent EPIC Norfolk to sharing your contact details with them. You will also agree that if you are unable to participate on the day, you will be liable for paying the entry fee to the charity (£47.50 for the Full Marathon, £37.50 for the Half Marathon) as they will still have to pay for your entry fee.

All entries include chip-timing and a bespoke race medal.
