Lord Mayor’s 5k City Centre Classic

Run over two laps of a traffic-free city centre course, this event was first staged on 1996 and now attracts the best quality field for a 5k road race in the east of England.The Lord Mayor’s 5k immediately precedes the annual Lord Mayor’s Street Procession through the city centre of Norwich. It provides an opportunity to race on traffic-free streets in front of an enthusiastic crowd estimated to exceed 50,000. Those who have taken part in previous years tell us that the buzz and excitement generated by these spectators is quite unique.
