Norfolk Marathon

28th April 2024

EPIC Norfolk are organising a fantastic new event – a road marathon right here in glorious Norfolk!

The route will take you through picturesque countryside and coastal villages, with a breathtaking finish line overlooking Cromer Pier and the sea.

“I’m so proud of myself and our team of poos! None of us are runners, and yet somehow, knowing that every step we took and every pound raised was going to help people in the same situation as my dad had been, made me keep going. It was an incredible experience.”
