TROWSE 10K

21st Edition: Sunday 15 March 2026

race starts at 9.00am

ABOUT THIS RACE

Our annual 10k road race is based at the Norfolk Snowsports Club in Whitlingham Lane, Trowse on the southern outskirts of Norwich.

Competitors run beside Whitlingham Broad before following a two-lap route along quiet roads through the heart of Trowse and close to Whitlingham Hall.

First held in 2005, this race has become a very popular event for runners, supporters and spectators. Beautiful scenery, splendid viewing opportunities and a lovely friendly atmosphere all help make for a great morning at the Trowse 10k.

We are licensed by England Athletics as a road race held under the UK Athletics Rules for Competition, licence number 30718. The course measurement was certified as accurate by an accredited AUKCM grade 1 course measurer on 22 October 2022; and our Certificate of Course Accuracy - certificate number 2022/512 - is valid for 10 years.

The minimum age to take part is 16 years on race day. No devices with headphones or earbuds, not even bone conduction headphones, may be worn while racing.

We have video gait analysis technology which uses a treadmill and Dartfish Digital Video Analysis software and we also have an on-site sports injury clinic.

Sportlink's video gait analysis uses a treadmill and Dartfish Digital Video Analysis software, which enables us to capture video and replay it in slow motion, as well as giving us the facility to measure angles and synchronise video clips side by side.

This helps us to analyse differences in gait patterns between running with old or unsuitable footwear, and new footwear suited to your biomechanical needs.
