Event Format and Course

The Wensum Way Trail is a timed event with 6-hour and 4-hour duration options. Participants run a 5.3 km out-and-back trail loop on the "Wensum Way" within a park. The trail surface is a mix of tarmac paths, grasslands, and rugged trails. An aid station is located at the base camp. The event is cupless, meaning participants must bring their own cup or bottle for refills.

Distances and Laps

Distances are achieved by completing multiple laps of the loop. Standard lap counts are provided, with options to adjust on the day:

Heavy Half Marathon: Standard is 5 laps, with options for 6 or 7 laps.
Ultra Marathon: Standard is 9 laps, with the option to increase up to 12 laps depending on time available.

Other available distances include 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, a half marathon, and a full marathon.

Registration and Perks

Parking is included with race entry. All finishers receive a bespoke event medal. A "Lucky Dip" medal option is available for some distances, allowing participants to choose from a selection of previous medals. A complimentary coffee and cake are provided after the finish.
