The Peddars Way Ultra Marathon is a premier trail ultramarathon held in Thetford. This 48-mile (77 km) point-to-point race follows the historic Peddars Way—a pre-Roman trading route and Roman road. The course features a mix of footpaths, bridleways, and quiet country lanes, offering a relatively flat and well-marked path suitable for both seasoned ultrarunners and beginners. With a generous 12-hour cutoff and GPS tracking for safety, participants can enjoy the scenic beauty of ancient heathland, river valleys, and charming villages along the way. The event is cupless, encouraging sustainability by requiring runners to carry their own water containers.
