Run by EPIC Norfolk (Exercising People In Communities), this half marathon is a road race and takes you through the most scenic parts of the North Norfolk countryside of Blickling and surrounding areas.

This is an England Athletics Certified Course with Chip Timing and a finishers medal for every participant. 

The Blickling Half Marathon takes place twice a year; in the spring it starts and finishes in front of Blickling Hall itself and is a multi-terrain route, in the autumn the race starts and finishes in Aylsham and is 100% on road.
