Little Lifts Trail Run - Opening Soon

Date: 17/04/2027

Location: Barningham Estate

Join us for the fifth Little Lifts Trail Running Event on Saturday, 17th April 2027

The race begins and ends within the normally private Barningham Estate, and all three courses will traverse across beautiful North Norfolk countryside. The courses are predominantly off-road on grass, farm tracks, gravel tracks, and private roads. Runners will have to cross over a number of quiet country lanes, and there are some short stretches along these quiet roads, but these have been kept to an absolute minimum.

The courses are beautifully varied in their terrain. All routes are undulating, featuring some short inclines and declines, narrow sections, woodland tracks, and paths across wide-open countryside. All three routes share parts of the course, but will also diverge and converge along the way. The entire course will be well signposted, and where possible, marshals will be positioned to help guide runners. However, runners should remain attentive and look out for the markers along the route. A GPX file and a map of the route will be shared before the event. 

This event has been made possible thanks to support from Norfolk Cordial and permission from Mr and Mrs Courtauld of Barningham Estate and other generous landowners. A HUGE thank you!

 

Making a difference

Little Lifts provides the most thoughtfully curated Boxes filled with products that offer emotional and practical support for people undergoing breast cancer treatment. 

Over the past 12 months demand for our support has risen by 76% and amid challenging economic times, our small charity feels the pressure. In 2027, which marks our 10th anniversary year, we pledge to meet the demand from breast cancer patients and medical professionals by distributing approximately 15,000 Little Lifts Boxes to those affected by breast cancer across our ten NHS hospital partnerships in the East of England and nationally via our Little Kindness Fund. 

 

Race Entry: 10km £28.50 + booking fee / Half Marathon £33.50 + booking fee / 30km £38.50 + booking fee. All entries include chip-timing.

Every t-shirt and medal we sell allows us to buy enough products to fill a Surgery Box. 

 

Cut-off time: 10k route, please journey at your own pace (perfect for runners and walkers). Half Marathon and 30k route, please aim to complete your route within 4 hours. This is to ensure everyone's safety and to respect our volunteers who give up their time to marshal.
