West Acre Wild 10k Challenge

Date: 06/10/2024

Location: Westacre

Course Description: The West Acre Wild Run is an off road 10K which follows a series of undulating bridle paths and woodland tracks through the picturesque Norfolk countryside.

There is a small section of paved road at the start after which the route follows farm and woodland paths which are generally dry although there is as small length of farm track that may be quite wet and muddy depending upon recent rainfall.

There are a number of optional obstacles on the route which runners are free to choose to attempt. However, the route crosses the West Acre fords just before the finish, which can be crossed using a narrow walk way, although it is recommended that those who may wish to run through, have spare trainers and socks are available at the finish.
