On Sunday 23 March, hundreds of runners will take to the streets of Wymondham for the annual Wymondham Athletic Club (WAC) 20-mile race.

The event starts at the Market Cross at 9:30am, and finishes at Lady's Lane - the perfect place for a sprint finish! Many of the runners will be using the race as part of their Spring marathon training and raising money for local charities - including me! I'm running my first-ever marathon in aid of Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals Charity, as a thank you for all the treatment my eldest daughter has had there.

The course is run over two laps around the quiet country lanes surrounding Wymondham, taking in Deopham and Morley St Botolph (see the map of the route for more information). Although roads are not closed to traffic, there will be marshals along the route signposting the runners and helping the race run smoothly.

There are also still a few spaces left - if you fancy signing up, visit this link.

So if you are out and about on the morning of Sunday 23 March and you see the WAC20 miler runners, please do give us a cheer and some encouragement - it's a long distance to run! - and thank you in advance for your patience and support of the race.
