Lowland Rescue Cawston 5 Mile Trail Race

New for 2026

Norfolk Lowland Search and Rescue are excited to announce a brand new venture for us.

A 5 mile trail race around the scenic Cawston Park estate, raising funds to help us in our valuable work, finding vulnerable missing people throughout Norfolk.

 

About us:

From hill to high water, Lowland Search and Rescue fills the gap between Mountain Rescue Teams and HM Coast Guard.

Formed in 1999, our team in Norfolk work with the Police and other Emergency Services to assist with the search for vulnerable missing persons throughout the county.

We are a 100% voluntary charity, on call 24hrs a day, 365 days a year. Each of our trained search team members are totally committed to finding missing people and making a difference.

Being a totally voluntary organisation it means that every penny we raise goes directly into searching for those who go missing.

To find out more about us, and what we do, go to our website https://norlsar.org.uk

 

Fundraising:

We have a Just giving page justgiving.com/campaign/lowlandtrailrace  and would ask you to consider being sponsored to take part in the event to help us raise further funds.

For every £25 you raise, your funds will purchase a canine first aid kit for one of our search dog team. For every £50 we can maintain and service a life jacket to keep our water team safe.  £100 provides our incident command unit with a tank of fuel to get to a search location and run a missing person search.

Anything you can raise will make a real difference to the charity, the people  we search for and their families.

 

Course Details:

The race is set entirely within the grounds of the Cawston Park estate. It is an off-road course following forest paths.

The course will be marshalled and/or signposted.

There will be car parking available on site. There will be a small charge of £2 per car (cash only) and, in keeping with our aims to keep the event as sustainable as possible, we would ask that you consider car sharing.

There will be toilets available at the race HQ, but no changing facilities, so please come prepared to run.

There will no baggage drop as the car park is close to the start/finish

The race will start at 10.00am and registration will open from 8.30am

The entrance to Cawston Park is not signposted. It lies on the B1145 between Cawston and Aylsham.
