Summer Iceni Ultra 2023

Starting out at Diss we will run the 36 mile Boudicca Way, taking in the beautiful Norfolk countryside, before finishing at Norwich Station.

The route showcases some of the best parts of Norfolk, passing through several picturesque villages, with lots of local history and nature to take in. The run is fully guided by qualified run leaders, it’s not a race, and is perfect for someone wanting to run their first ultra. We want people to be able to enjoy the satisfaction that comes from running an ultra, whilst being able to enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace, and hopefully learning something new about the county of Norfolk along the way.

I did the Intro to Trail Running workshop with Escape trails. It was a really enjoyable day, with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It was informative and fun and finished with a wonderful run through the forest putting what we'd learnt into practice.

This was a great experience. My first 10Km in a very very long time. Everyone made me extremely welcome and calmed my nerves. I will be back on a regular basis to run in great surroundings with this guided group who didn’t leave me behind, thank you.

29th October 10k run with Neil and Lin in Thetford Forest was brilliant. Well organised, relaxed with no time pressure a group of us ran in the autumn sunshine enjoying a varied trail of paths through the forest. A very friendly group with some first time 10k runners along with more experienced trail runners. I’ll be back for another run and will challenge myself to do the 16k next time. A great way to spend a Sunday morning. Thanks Escape Trails.

Myself and a friend ran the wroxham/Hoveton route. It was our first ever trail run and Neil and the other runners were so supportive and accommodating. We've already decided to book another in the near future.

If you are thinking of booking and not sure it’s simple - just go for it! Neil and his team run excellent events and I’ve never left a single one without a big smile on my face. A great way to clear your mind from the real world, enjoy great company and learn from experienced coaches.

Have done a few runs with ESCAPE trails now, the most recent being a fantastic headtorch run through the Norfolk countryside. Events are always fun, inclusive and great value.
