Inaugural Winter Weavers' Way - 50km or 100km

14 NOVEMBER 2026

The race that launched Boghopper Races ** Now a UTMB Index Race**

Boghopper Races  launched in 2023 with the Inaugural Weavers' Way Ultras. 

Two distances on beautiful trails; a 50km and a 50mile.

We've kept the 50km race as it was but for 2026 have added in a 100km race starting from Great Yarmouth, taking in the entire length of the Weavers' Way . 

The routes

 The 50km route starts at Stalham Poppy Centre, runs via North Walsham to the Stately homes of Blickling Hall and Felbrigg Hall with a nice long downhill stretch to the finish at Cromer Pier.


The 100km route starts at Broadland - Gt Yarmouth Rugby Club, runs alongside Breydon Water before heading off on the only 'cow-free' route across Halvergate marshes to Acle. From Acle to Hickling you will run alongside the River Bure and join the 50km route at Stalham.

The atmosphere

Weavers' Way has a little bit of everything. A great showcase for Norfolk. If you were going to be a tour guide, this is probably the route you'd take. 

Everyone who finishes Weavers' falls in love with the route. Beautiful villages, friendly towns and impressive Stately homes, riverside running, meadows and an impressive seaside finish at Cromer Pier.
