Route information
Starting in Lenwade we will head west on 12.5 miles of trails to Gressenhall, through the valley of the River Wensum, for which the path is named.
The River Wensum is not only a Site of Special Scientific Interest but also a Special Area of Conservation so there is an abundance of wildlife we hope to catch a glimpse of. The run is fully guided by qualified run leaders, it’s not a race, and is perfect for someone wanting to increase their distance in a supportive environment. We want people to be able to enjoy the satisfaction that comes from running long distances, whilst being able to enjoy the scenery at a relaxed pace.
For this run we are also offering an out and back option. Why complete the Wensum Way once when you can do it twice, in one go! So you can either sign up to the 12.5 mile or the 25 mile distance, the choice is yours.
What's included
- Fully qualified and experienced Run Leader to guide you on the trails.
- Fully stocked aid stations every 6 miles.
- Bespoke wooden medal
- For every entry £1 will be donated to the Norfolk Trails team to help with the upkeep of the trail.
How to get there
Lenwade, Norwich NR9 5SH, UK
Get full directionsThe run starts in Lenwade in a carpark that intersects with the Marriotts Way. We finish in Gressenhall, which has no specific car park so you will likely need to be picked up or there is a combination of buses that will get you back to Lenwade in around 1hr 15minutes (numbers 21 and X29).
Anyone on the 25 mile distance we will simply turn around and run back to the Marriotts Way Car Park in Lenwade.
