Spring Blickling Half Marathon – Exercising People in Communities

Spring Blickling Half Marathon
Next Race: Sunday 14 March 2027 (Entries open at 8am on Friday 21st August)

This is probably one of the most scenic Half Marathons in the UK. The race starts and finishes right in front of the iconic Blickling Hall, there couldn’t be a better start and finish line!

Race Entry: £35 + booking fee (includes parking). All entries include chip-timing and a bespoke race medal.

Charity Entries: If you would like to fundraise for one of our charity partners, you can select a charity entry and choose which charity you wish to fundraise for from the dropdown box. Once you have fundraised the minimum amount of £150 for that charity partner (through an official fundraising page), we will refund your entry fee.

By selecting a charity partner, you consent EPIC Norfolk to sharing your contact details with them so they can contact you to support you with your fundraising. If you are unable to participate on the day, the charity will still receive your fundraising donations, they cannot be deferred to another event. If you fail to fundraise at least £150 your entry will be removed and you will not be able to take part on the day (this is so people don’t select a charity entry without the intentions of fundraising).
