About the Event

Test your grit against one of the UK's most uniquely demanding formats at Norm's Helium Loops on 22 March 2026. This fixed-time event gives you 12 hours, from sunrise to sunset, to complete as many punishing 5.5km loops as you can muster on the slopes above Salcombe Regis. Each short lap delivers a relentless 250m of climbing, making four loops a brutally hilly half-marathon with 1,000m of gain, and eight loops a full marathon. You can also tackle the dedicated "Norm's Half Marathon" by starting your four-loop quest anytime between 10am and 2pm. With no per-loop time limit, the challenge is a pure battle of stamina, strategy, and mental fortitude against the accumulating elevation. The indoor event HQ offers crucial respite with showers, toilets, and refreshments throughout the day. Conquer this iconic, configurable test of climbing legs and earn your unique memento on the stunning Jurassic Coast.
