2025 boghopper races

We both live near Norwich and are long term members of Tri-anglia Triathlon Club. We have competed in all distances of triathlon but if we are both honest, we are runners at heart. 

We started training together in 2018 and since then have completed more than 70 ultras combined including 100milers and Race Across Scotland. We love the ultra scene, it is totally different from triathlon and can be both beautiful and brutal at the same time.  

We are Janice and Kevin, we have extensive knowledge of the Norfolk trails. We look forward to sharing them with you.

We are blessed with some of the most unspoilt countryside anywhere in the UK and as such are well endowed with numerous trails. Our inaugural race was on the Weavers' Way which started in Acle, a small town East of Norwich. The trail runs in a northerly direction to end at the coastal town of Cromer with its victorian Pier. The course is on good terrain with only 470m of elevation so is perfect for first time ultra runners and for those who want to run a fast race.  We held this again in October 2024

Our second race was 50km on the Boudicca Way from Diss to Norwich. An exceptionally fast course on a scorchingly hot day. Following on from this we will host Boudicca Way in July 2025 but then we have plans in place for a different trails and venues. Watch this space!!

Ultrarunning is a fantastic sport. It takes a lot of character to finish an event of this length but the feeling of satisfaction afterwards is second to none. We are both finishers rather than podium athletes and have experienced the stress of being close to cut offs. This is often something that puts people off and our aim is to host races that have less pressure and achievable cut offs.  We also allow spectator support along the course.

By having a relaxed race atmosphere we aim to encourage first timers, to believe that they can achieve the seemingly unachievable. 

We want you to run your first ever ultra, with us.
