Blickling Half Marathon 2026 Entry, Date & Race Info

The Blickling Half Marathon events offer runners the chance to experience the scenic roads and countryside surrounding the historic Blickling area in North Norfolk through both spring and autumn editions. Each race follows a different road course, giving returning runners a fresh experience while showcasing the quiet villages, rolling countryside, and rural scenery that make this part of Norfolk popular with runners.

Held entirely on road, the events combine picturesque countryside running with a welcoming atmosphere that appeals to club runners, first-time half marathon participants, and runners building toward larger race goals later in the season. The spring and autumn editions each bring their own character, with changing seasonal scenery adding variety across the year.

The races have built a strong reputation locally and regularly attract high demand thanks to their scenic routes, chip timing, bespoke finisher medals, and well-organised race-day experience. Both events also support local sporting initiatives, helping maintain a strong community feel around the race weekends.

With two distinct editions each year, the Blickling Half Marathon series has become a well-established part of the Norfolk running calendar for runners looking for a scenic and community-focused half marathon experience.
