Thompson Millennium Green 10K & 5K
The Thompson Millennium Green 10K & 5K is an annual village run held in Thompson, Norfolk. It begins at 11:00 am from the Green, postcode IP24 1PU. The event features a 10K run and a 5K fun run. Both races utilize mixed surfaces, including paths, lanes, bridleways, farm tracks, and byroads surrounding the village, rather than closed city streets. The courses are relatively flat, offering opportunities for personal bests, and the 5K provides a shorter option for families and newer participants within the same rural setting.
The 10K route commences on Thompson Millennium Green, proceeds through farmland tracks and byroads, connects with Griston Road, passes the Chequers pub, and concludes back on the Green. The 5K follows a comparable out-and-back village course. Volunteers organize the event to generate funds for Thompson Millennium Green, which is the Green’s primary annual fundraiser. Proceeds support its maintenance and development. The event relies significantly on local assistance, including marshals, timekeepers, car park attendants, finish-line photographers, kitchen volunteers, BBQ staff, and bakers contributing cakes. All finishers are awarded custom medals, leading runners receive trophies, and the post-race arrangements typically include hot dogs, refreshments, and homemade baked goods.
St Helena Hospice Half Marathon
The St Helena Hospice Half Marathon begins at Low Road Recreational Ground in Harwich, Essex, with runners starting at 10:00 AM. The main event is the standard 13.1-mile half marathon, and a 10K race is also available. Both races take place on tarmac roads along a gently rolling course, presenting a challenging but direct route.
The race supports St Helena Hospice, a Colchester charity providing palliative and end-of-life care for individuals in north east Essex. The hospice extends its support to families, friends, carers, and those experiencing bereavement. The inaugural half marathon was established to commemorate 40 years of hospice services in the community, and participation is capped.
EnduranceLife | Suffolk
Endurancelife Suffolk begins in Dunwich on the East Suffolk coast, offering 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances on the same day. It is part of the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series. This particular event is notably flat and fast, differing from many of the organiser’s more hilly trail races. Runners completing any distance gain points for the season leaderboard, making it suitable as an individual coastal run or as part of the series competition.
The course crosses protected and managed countryside, including forest tracks, beach sections, a dyke, heathland, villages, nature reserves, and paths near RSPB Minsmere. Organisations such as Natural England, the RSPB, and the National Trust help maintain the area, thus the event emphasizes runners' respect for the landscape. The half marathon commences after the marathon, with the routes converging later, which helps maintain a cohesive field even on the longer distances.
Ely Tri Club Runfest 2026
Ely Tri Club Runfest is a running festival held in October at Palace Green in Ely. The Half Marathon begins and ends outside Ely Cathedral. The event features out-and-back courses with multiple distances: 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and an ultra option. This caters to runners seeking anything from a shorter mixed-surface run to a longer endurance challenge.
The Half Marathon covers 21.1 km on tarmac and compact trail along Cycle Path 11, with a turnaround point in Wicken village. Courses are marked, results are timed, and the event has a 300-participant limit, closing registration when full. The Runfest originated as an ultra event, with the Half Marathon introduced as the festival expanded beyond its initial long-distance focus.
George Munday 10k
The George Munday 10k is a Remembrance Sunday road race held in Leverington, a village in the East of England. It begins with a pre-race tribute and a two-minute silence, lending the day a quieter, more reflective atmosphere before the running commences. This 10k event, organized by Three Counties Running Club, is in its tenth year and has previously attracted over 350 participants.
The route departs Leverington, proceeding along quiet, flat country lanes towards Newton, before returning to conclude at Leverington Sports and Social Club. The course is suitable for those running their first 10k, and its flat terrain also appeals to runners aiming for a personal best. The race commemorates George Munday, a decorated military officer who resided at Leverington Hall until his passing in 1970. Participants have the option to preorder a limited-edition T-shirt, and on-site parking is restricted.
EAMA 10K
The EAMA 10K is a 10 km road race in Wymondham, Norfolk. Runners start from Lady's Lane, with Race HQ at Wymondham Market. It uses two morning start waves, ten minutes apart, allowing the route more room. Wave places are given first come, first served, not by predicted finish time.
The course is a single lap from Wymondham out around the countryside near Morley. East Anglian Motor Auctions sponsors the race, linking it to a local family-run business operating since 1946. Entry fees help fund council community services, with part of the money also going to the Chairman's chosen charity. The event includes a corporate challenge alongside affiliated and unaffiliated runner entries.
Turkey Trot
The Turkey Trot offers runners six hours to complete any distance they choose on repeated 10.5K loops through the Suffolk countryside. The event begins at 9 am, centered around Thanksgiving, with a format allowing participants to finish after one lap, target a half marathon or marathon, or continue to ultra distances.
The loop combines road and trail sections, following the Back Quack route. Runners may rest between laps before starting again, making the day suitable for novice 5K runners alongside experienced marathon and ultra runners. Parking is provided, with a marshal assisting at the car park, and baggage can be stored in a hut near the start.
'Twas The Run Before Christmas 2026
'Twas The Run Before Christmas is a festive lap race at High Lodge in Thetford Forest, near Brandon in Suffolk. Runners can choose from 5k to 10k, 15k, half marathon, heavy half, marathon, or ultra, all on a 5.3km forest loop. There are two start times: the earlier start offers up to six hours on course, while the later start offers four hours. This is the event's sixth running and it is part of Zig Zag Running's Christmas-season schedule.
The course is mostly pathway, with a smaller section of trail and woodland, so road shoes are generally suitable, though trail shoes might be considered after wet weather. The lap format allows participants to stop at a short distance or continue adding loops within the time limit; a heavy half typically involves five laps, while the ultra begins with nine laps and can extend further if time permits. The venue is self-contained, with exclusive use of the main area, an aid station at the lap point, registration at Oak Lodge, and refreshments available after finishing. Festive attire is encouraged, finishers receive a bespoke medal or a past medal via lucky dip, and a portion of each entry fee supports forest and woodland care.
Christmas Canter
Christmas Canter is a December running event held at Suffolk Running Centre on Church Road, near Bury St Edmunds. Zig Zag Running provides a 9 am mass start for all participants and a seven-hour cut-off time. Distance options range from 5K and 10K to half marathon, marathon, and ultra marathon.
Shorter distances follow an out-and-back course with designated turnaround points. The half marathon consists of one loop, and the marathon comprises two loops. The event utilizes the Hargrave Half route. Mount Barrow serves as the turnaround for the 5K and 10K, with the ultra course extending to the 5K turnaround point. Race HQ is located at the start/lap point, offering water and aid. Additional aid stations are positioned approximately every 10K. As the event is cupless, runners must bring their own cup or bottle. All finishers receive a unique medal, and a lucky-dip medal option might be offered. Christmas-themed fancy dress is encouraged but not mandatory.
Ely New Year's Eve 10k
The Ely New Year's Eve 10k is a 10K road race held in Little Downham, near Ely in Cambridgeshire. Runners start near the village hall at 11:00am. The race uses chip timing, and its late-morning start is a practical New Year's Eve slot rather than an early winter wake-up.
The course is a single, fairly level rural lap, offering a straightforward measured loop through the countryside with minimal climbing. Results are listed across several past editions, showing verification status, which is useful for runners checking previous performances or comparing times year to year.
WTF - Where's The Finish Run
WTF - Where's The Finish Run begins the New Year at Brandon Country Park in Brandon, Suffolk, situated in Thetford Forest. This is a timed lap race, not a fixed-distance event. Runners select either a 6-hour or a 4-hour start, completing as many 5.3 km laps as desired before their time concludes. The structure allows participants to finish after an initial 5k or 10k, progress to a half or full marathon distance, or continue into ultra territory on the same circuit.
The lap course consists of gravel footpaths and some grassy sections, with marshals present and an aid station at Base Camp after each circuit. Rest periods between laps are permitted. Anyone departing Base Camp before the time limit expires is allowed to finish an additional lap, which is the origin of the race's name. A standard half marathon comprises five laps, with the possibility to extend on the day, while the standard ultra is nine laps and can be extended further if time permits. The arrangement is suitable for both novice and seasoned runners due to minimal navigation requirements, no mandatory special equipment, and simpler logistics compared to many trail ultras.
Windmill Way Wander 2027
Windmill Way Wander is a road-running event held at Suffolk Running Centre on Church Road, near Bury St Edmunds. Participants select their own distance on the day, with 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra options available. This format accommodates short runs, first long races, or extended training challenges. The event offers flexibility with an early start providing a seven-hour cutoff and a later start with a five-hour cutoff.
The course follows Windmill Way and Golding Hills, crossing Higham, Gazeley, Ashley, Dalham, and Denham via village lanes. Distances under a half marathon are out-and-back. The half marathon is a single loop, the marathon consists of two loops, and the ultra extends to the 5K turnaround point. Race HQ is located at the start/lap point, offering refreshments every 10K. Parking is provided, and finishers receive a bespoke medal or, if available, a lucky-dip medal from past events.

Norwich Miles And Quiet Roads
Norwich hosts 40 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Norwich through parks first, because Eaton Park, Chapelfield Gardens, Waterloo Park, Wensum Park, and Whitlingham Park all make easy loops. Whitlingham Park lake gives you just short of 4km around the water, so a few laps rack up the K's fast. The loop covers 6 miles with short road crossings, mostly paved early, then gravel and dirt further out. 45pm. Norwich Road Runners keep the club scene steady. Run Norwich, Norwich Half Marathon, and Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon are the anchor dates.
Locals ride from the city centre onto National Cycle Route 1, the Pedalways, and quiet roads that open into big Norfolk skies. Velo Club Norwich brings the group discipline, with Sunday rides leaving the Norwich Millennium Forum at 9am and usually covering 50-60 miles with coffee and cake halfway. Norwich ABC covers club rides, time trialling, circuit racing, cyclocross, Audax, MTB, and gravel, so there is always a wheel to follow. Norfolk stays pretty flat, but the south has rolling countryside towards Loddon, and gravel events have short, rolling hills, rougher farm tracks, and enough climbing for intervals. Norwich 100 Bike Ride and Norfolk Gravel Epic are the anchor rides.
Spring and Summer suit fast training rides, Tuesday evening chaingangs, base miles, and clean laps when the parks and lanes feel easy to use. Summer can bring sea fog or haar during the summer half of the year, so locals still dress with a bit of sense before early starts. Winter changes the rhythm more than the map. Snow or sleet showers can arrive on a northerly or easterly wind, Marriott's Way can turn from smooth gravel to open muddy fields in places, and riders shift towards steadier Z2, cyclocross habits, and cafe rides while runners keep parks and road loops in play.
