Sportlink GP

Wymondham AC 20 mile race

Date: 22/03/2026

Location: Wymondham

Website: link

The third Sportlink Grand Prix event of the year and the ideal spring marathon preparation with the most enthusiastic & supportive Marshals along the way!

Set in the beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Wymondham and taking in the nearby villages, the race is a two-lap course set on quiet rural roads. The race starts at the Market Cross in the centre of Wymondham and finishes on nearby Lady's Lane. There are 4 water stations on route, with each one passed twice due to the lapped nature of the route. The support from our enthusiastic marshals is second to none!

Whether you are looking to enter as part of your marathon training or fancy giving the race a go in its own right; it's an enjoyable and competitive event for all!

Our races adhere to UKA Rules. Please note in particular that pacing is not permitted, and anyone thought to be pacing, or being paced, will be disqualified.
