Spring Blickling Half Marathon - Sold Out

Date: 29/03/2026

Location: Blickling

Website: link

Possibly the most breathtaking Half Marathon in the UK with the start and finish line directly in front of the iconic Blickling Hall. Quite simply, there is no better start / finish backdrop to a race. This event sells out each year and entry numbers are limited.

Any profits from the race will be reinvested into local sport and physical activity by race organisers EPIC Norfolk.

Race Entry: Entry £35 + booking fee (includes parking). All entries include chip-timing and a bespoke race medal.

Charity Entries: If you would like to fundraise for one of our listed charity partners, you can select a charity entry and choose from the dropdown list of charity partners. If you then fundraise the minimum amount of £150 for that charity partner (through an official fundraising page), we will refund your entry fee. By selecting a charity partner, you consent EPIC Norfolk to sharing your contact details with them so they can contact you directly to support you with your fundraising. If you are unable to participate on the day, the charity will still receive your fundraising donations, they cannot be deferred to another event. If you fail to fundraise at least £150 your entry will be removed and you will not be able to take part on the day (this is so people don’t select a charity entry without the intentions of fundraising).

Charity Partners: EPIC Norfolk's Dementia Campaign, Brave Futures, Norfolk & Waveney MIND, Keeping Abreast, Priscilla Bacon Hospice, Big-C, Nelson's Journey, East Anglian Air Ambulance, Shelter Norfolk, Norfolk Blood Bikes, Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS), NSPCC Norwich, Star Throwers, East of England Ambulance Service Charity, The Benjamin Foundation.
