Marriott's Way Marathon and Half Marathon
The third edition of the Norfolk Trail Marathon and Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 21 February 2027 and is organised as part of the Boghopper Family of events. Both races follow a mostly easy to follow route along Marriott's Way, a largely traffic-free trail with marshalled or signed road crossings where possible.
Key event details include:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
Both races finish at Friendship Hall in Aylsham. Marathon and half marathon starts are at different locations along the route. Buses run from the finish to the starts before the race for an extra charge of £12 per person, and there is plenty of free parking a short walk from the finish. The fields are limited to 200 participants overall. Minimum ages on race day are 18 for the marathon and 17 for the half marathon.
The event is chip timed, all finishers receive a unique medal, and there are prizes for the first three finishers in Female and Male/Open categories in both races. Water is provided on the route at roughly 11 km intervals and sweets are available at the halfway point. First aid cover is provided and hot drinks and snacks are available at the finish. Five percent of each entry fee will be donated to the East Anglian Air Ambulance. The event is licensed by the Association of Running Clubs and held under UK Athletics rules, permit number ARC/27/0007. The course has not been measured by a UKA approved measurer so distances are approximate.
The event is LGBTQ+ and non-binary friendly. Entrants may register as Female or Male or Non-binary in the Male/Open category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
