The Norfolk Gazelles Valentine’s 10k returns on February 14, 2027, offering runners an exciting blend of scenic routes and festive camaraderie. This race is renowned for its quick sell-out status, making early entry essential.
Starting at Easton College in Norwich, the event promises a challenging yet enjoyable course that winds through both city streets and rural landscapes. The route features well-maintained paved roads and country paths, ensuring a smooth run from start to finish. All participants will benefit from comprehensive marshalling and clear signage throughout their journey.
Registration opens early at 7:30 AM, allowing runners ample time to collect race numbers or take advantage of the secure bag drop service before the official start time of 9:00 AM. Entry fees are £20 for affiliated athletes and £22 for unaffiliated competitors, with a minimum age requirement of 15 years on race day.
Optional extras include the opportunity to opt out of receiving a medal in exchange for planting a tree or having your race number mailed ahead of time at an additional cost. For those who prefer to collect their numbers on-site, ample parking is available at Norfolk Showground just a short walk from Easton College.
The event also offers various prizes, including trophies for the top three male and female finishers as well as age category awards (first place only) across different categories. Team prizes are awarded based on cumulative times of teams consisting of three runners each, adding an extra layer of competition to the race day experience.
Medical support is provided by MedPTS, ensuring that all participants can run with peace of mind knowing they have access to professional healthcare services should any issues arise during the event.
For those interested in breaking a course record, there’s even a £125 bonus up for grabs if you manage to set a new benchmark.
