Norwich Half Marathon Entry, Date & Race Guide

The Norwich Half Marathon starts and finishes at the Norfolk Showground, taking runners on a closed-road route through the Norfolk countryside and surrounding villages. Predominantly run on tarmac roads, the course combines long rural stretches with gentle undulations, creating a race that is both accessible and rewarding. The route has earned a strong reputation among club runners and first-time half marathon participants alike, with much of the course favouring consistent pacing and fast running.

Revived under new organisers after a period away from the racing calendar, the event has quickly re-established itself as one of Norfolk's flagship road races. Runners benefit from a fully closed-road course, chip timing, well-stocked aid stations and a lively event village at the showground. Whether you're targeting a new half marathon PB or looking to experience a large-scale road race in East Anglia, the Norwich Half Marathon delivers a memorable race-day experience in a scenic setting.
