Great Yarmouth Half Marathon

The course starts and finishes at the race HQ at Ormiston Venture Academy in Gorleston and loops around Ashby, Lound and Somerleyton. There are multiple water stations along the route.
Race HQ address: Ormiston Venture Academy, Oriel Avenue, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth NR31 7JJ. Facilities at the venue include parking, a hall to collect numbers, ample toilets, a large warm up area, refreshments in the canteen and a raffle.
Entry fees are listed as Affiliated £26 and Unaffiliated £28. All finishers receive a medal and a race t shirt. Prizes include a trophy for first male and first female plus free entry to defend the title next year; age group and team trophies are also available.
The event has a three hour cut off; an early wave option is offered for those who may be affected, but early wave participants are not eligible for race, Norfolk County Championship or Sportlink prizes or points. Minimum age on race day is 17. Bags may be left in the sports hall at the owner’s risk and neither GYRR nor the school accept liability for loss or damage.
