The Great Yarmouth Promenade 5 Mile Series
The Great Yarmouth Promenade 5 Mile Series consists of three separate races held along the coast. This specific event is the third race in the 2026 series. The course covers a distance of 5 miles and takes place on a completely flat, traffic-free route. The path is fully marshalled and signposted for participants throughout the event.
Race headquarters are located at the Marina Centre on Marine Parade, with the start and finish area situated near the Sea Life Centre. The venue provides toilet facilities and sports hall space for bag storage, though the storage area is unmanned. Lockers are also available within the leisure centre. For those traveling by car, there are several seafront car parks, and street parking in the vicinity is free of charge after 6:00 PM.
Results are recorded using electronic chip timing. In accordance with England Athletics regulations, the use of headphones, including bone-conduction types, is not permitted. Due to the nature of the course, it is not suitable for wheelchairs, buggies, or pets. Participants must be at least 15 years old on the day of the race.
