Marriott's Way Trail Marathon & Half Marathon 2027

The Marriott's Way Trail Marathon & Half Marathon is a February trail event in Norfolk. The full marathon begins in Norwich, and the half marathon starts at Whitwell Station. Both races conclude at Friendship Hall in Aylsham. It is intended for runners and walkers, with an 8-hour time limit for the marathon and a 4-hour limit for the half, accommodating those seeking a relaxed outing and those competing seriously. The route utilizes Marriott's Way, a level, disused railway line connecting Norwich and Aylsham. The majority of the path is free from traffic, although the course intersects with busy roads, managed with marshals or signage where feasible. The stated distances are approximate as the course lacks official UKA measurement. Boghopper Races organizes the event under UK Athletics rules with an Association of Running Clubs licence. Five percent of each entry fee supports the East Anglian Air Ambulance, whose volunteers also assist with race marshalling.
