Norfolk Gazelles are thrilled to launch this brand-new event, bringing together two of your favourite races from previous years – the Alex Moore Relay and The Big Stampede – into one exciting festival of running!

The Alex Moore Relay spent many happy years based at the Goat Inn in Skeyton, but because so many runners now wish to take part, we needed a larger venue. Meanwhile, The Big Stampede was always at the mercy of October’s unpredictable weather.

By merging these two races into a single event at Norfolk Showground on 1 June, Norfolk Gazelles have created an unmissable festival that delivers everything you love about both races in perfect conditions!
