WHY THE HOLY TRAIL?
The races will follow several trails that take you through medieval East Anglia.
The start of the 50 mile race is at Oulton Broad and shortly, within a mile of the start the route joins The Via Beata (https://www.viabeata.co.uk/).
The Via Beata is a fabulous route joining the most Easterly Point (Ness Point in Lowestoft) to the most Westerly point of mainland Britain (St David’s in Wales). It is the East-West equivalent of Lands End John O’Groats and is a challenge of over 400 miles (add that to your bucket list!).
This is also a Pilgrimage Route and along the route there are waystations, which are religious carvings. Some of them are extremely ornate. On this route there is one at Ringsfield. If you spot it, take a photo, it's a great piece of art.
Below you will find all the information you need. GPX files will be added shortly.
