Boghopper Races is a result of the run chat of Janice Coglin-Hibbert and Kevin Burgess. As ultrarunners and triathletes ourselves we wanted to introduce more runners to the joys of ultrarunning and especially Norfolk's amazing trails, starting with the Weavers' Way.
October 2023 saw the launch of two brand new ultra marathons for Norfolk, showcasing the beautiful Norfolk countryside and the estates of Blickling and Felbrigg Hall.
A beginner friendly 50km and a more challenging 50 mile route for the more experienced, both taking place on the Weavers' Way. Runners and walkers welcomed. Just 100 places available in each.
What makes us beginner friendly?
The 50km race has a 10 hour completion time and generous interim cut offs. An average speed of 5km (3 mph) will get you to the finish in time.
The 50 mile race has a 14 hour completion time and generous interim cut offs, means an average speed of 3.6 mph will get you to the finish.
Spectators can meet athletes at selected crew points and give supplies, food, drink and importantly, moral support.
Our focus is on encouraging more people to fall in love with the sport of long distance trail running without feeling daunted while still enabling those at the front of the field to race hard also.
Our routes will be very raceable allowing for good competition for the more competitive among you and will also be spectator friendly allowing you to see your own crew 3 or more times on the route.
The whole ethos of our team is on helping you to achieve your goal. We are runners ourselves and understand first hand how hard these races can be. We will do everything we can to help you get across the finish line safely (apart from running it for you ;))
