What to Expect on Norfolk 360

Want to give Ultra-cycling or a bikepacking race a go but don’t know where to start? Then Norfolk 360 is designed for you! It is the perfect beginners’ Ultra-cycle event.

Norfolk 360 is a hybrid cycling event where you’ll ride both road and off-road segments which will lead you to some of Norfolk’s most iconic sights. Cycling from coast to castles, you will travel from Thetford Forest to the grand Holkham Hall, taking in breathtaking scenery along the way.

Our races are inspired by the compass and the course is designed in 4 loops that make up the 360-mile ride. Experience the flatlands of Norfolk in a self-supported ultra-cycle adventure that takes you to all 4-points of this beautiful county.

The 4 loops are designed to give you ownership of your race; you will have the option to do as much or as little as you want. There will be a central checkpoint that connects all four segments of the course, and each rider will have the option of cycling 112 miles, 212 miles, 300 miles, or the full 360. Don’t worry about carrying all the extra weight of camping equipment and spare clothes. You can leave a bag with all this at the central checkpoint and pick up what you need each time you come through. The central checkpoint is a safe environment inside a warm village hall where cyclists can sleep and store all their essentials. There will always be a race organiser on site to give guidance and support to the competitors.
