Please note that the Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon is being organised by Good Running Events and not City of Norwich AC. Please visit their website for further details.

The City of Norwich Half Marathon was first staged in 1985 by Duke Street Running Club, the race originally based in the centre of Norwich – hence its name.  Then in 1993 it moved to its new home at the Norfolk Showground on the western outskirts of the city. For many years the race was one of the showpiece events on the local calendar attracting fast and not so fast runners from inside and outside the county.

The race started and finished within the Norfolk Showground and followed a rural single lap route through the parishes of Easton, Honingham, Colton, Barnham Broom, Marlingford and close to Easton College.
