Location: Aylsham to Reepham, Norfolk
The 10km trail race starts in Aylsham, on the Marriott’s Way itself, finishing in the picturesque marketplace in Reepham. The run is flat and mostly off road along the Marriott’s Way, perfect terrain for seasoned runners and those new to running due to the softer ground. Runners also get to see the beautiful Norfolk countryside as they run along the old railway line.
There are 5 different start waves split into 10 minutes intervals so that there is room for all on the route. The start waves are assigned on a first come, first serve basis and do not correspond to runners predicted finisher times. These are; 10am, 10.10am, 10.20am, 10.30am, 10.40am.
Money raised from the entry fees is used to fund some of the Council’s most-valued community services, with some funds also donated to the Chairman’s chosen charity.
