Upcoming Big C events!

This year, why not challenge yourself to something a bit different, and sign up to help raise funds for Big C. We have lots of exciting fundraising events coming up and we hope you will join us!

Strictly Big C 

On 1 March our fabulous Big C contestants will be heading onto the dance floor once again to see if they can win the Big C glitter ball! 

Working with the very talented dancers from Miller Dance Studio, our contestants have been very busy working on their dance routines ready to see if they can get that perfect 10! 

We hope you will join us in your finest sequins and enjoy a night of spectacular performances, music from a live DJ and maybe even hit the dancefloor yourself!

150 Mile Challenge 

If 2025 is the year you’re trying to get your steps up, then why not take part in our 150 Mile challenge this February and March!  

We have teamed up with Community Sports Foundation for this virtual challenge where we are encouraging our fundraisers to get out in their community and complete 150 miles however they choose!  Whether you decide to walk, run, cycle or even horse ride, it’s your challenge, your way! 

Funds raised will directly, and equally, benefit Big C and Norwich City Community Sports Foundation, who use the power of sport to support and inspire our community.

Running events

Maybe you’re looking to push yourself a little further or would simply like to add some coastal views to your run, then why not sign up for the Norfolk Marathon or Half Marathon.  

Happening on 13 April, the route will take runners through the picturesque Norfolk countryside and coastal villages before heading to the finish line which overlooks the iconic Cromer Pier and sea. 

An exciting new option this year for our Big C runners is the Sandringham 10k on 15 June.  

This course is mainly a trail route through the Sandringham Estate where runners will get to take in the scenic countryside views of Sandringham and the Royal House before crossing the finish line within the Royal Estate to receive their bespoke medal. 

We have a limited number of free places available in the Run Sandringham 10k, if you commit to raising a minimum of £75 sponsorship.

Later in the year we will be taking part in the always popular Blickling Autumn Half Marathon on 19 October.  

This route takes runners through some of the most scenic parts of the North Norfolk countryside including Blickling, Aylsham and the surrounding picturesque villages before crossing the finish line in Aylsham market place. 

Another new event on the calendar for Big C this year is the Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon on 23 November.  

Starting at Norwich Showground this course takes runners on a scenic route through the countryside in the heart of Norfolk before heading back to the finish line at Norwich Showground.

We have a limited number of free places available in the Norwich Half Marathon, if you commit to raising a minimum of £150 sponsorship.

So dust off those trainers and join us for one of these popular running events in our beautiful county of Norfolk!

Norwich 100/60/30

If you are more of a cyclist than runner, then why not sign up to take part in Norwich 100/60/30  on 1 June for a scenic ride through the stunning Norfolk Countryside with other fellow cyclists! 

Setting off from City Hall, the 100-mile route takes you through the market town of Holt before heading out to the beautiful coast at Blakeney before heading back inland through the Felbrigg estate and the Broads. 

If a shorter distance is more for you, the 60-mile course takes riders around the edge of the Broads and the coast, while the 30-mile route brings you alongside the Bure Valley Railway with both distances crossing the finish line at Lower School by the iconic Norwich Cathedral.
