The Round Norfolk Epic - 200 miles in one day is back for its 3rd year... (well 4th but Covid-19 but paid to it in 2020) and we can't wait! With very limited spaces left, and we expect 2021 Round Norfolk Epic to sell out fast.
Starting and finishing at Great Yarmouth Racecourse, the route heads south out of Great Yarmouth before swinging south westerly towards Beccles. After Beccles you will be heading west towards your first feed-zone at South Lopham, on leaving the 'breakfast' feed-zone you will continue riding along the southern border of Norfolk passing through Theftord, Brandon and out into the fens where you will find your lunch stop at Welney.
On leaving Welney you head north to King's Lynn. After King's Lynn you start to pick up the coast road and you will soon arrive at your next feed-zone at Thornham. From here it is now all coast road to Overstand, Keep your eyes peeled as you will be passing beautiful countryside and unspoilt sea views. Once at Overstand your last feed-zone. it's now the last push. The hills start to level out but the views are just as good.
This is the shortest leg so you will be soon back at Great Yarmouth where you will receive a hero's welcome and your bespoke medal.
The course is 200 miles over one day. It really is a great challenge. A truly epic ride.This event is limited to 300 spaces and we expect it to sell out fast so please book up early.
At the end of the event there will be a selection of caterers, post event massage and a great atmosphere where friends and family are invited to help you celebrate your epic ride.
The medals are going to be fantastic again in 2020 with yet another new design. The design team are on it!
