The Norfolk Coast Path runs for 83 miles from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea, travelling through the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Following the success of the winter Sunrise Ultramarathons along this course, Darkside Running decided to put on the summer equivalent and the Sunset Ultra and Marathon were born!
Unlike their winter cousins which run during the hours of darkness, all Sunset events start during daylight hours, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful Norfolk coastline in all its glory. Support is provided along the route but is kept to a minimum, to minimise the environmental impact of the race and to add to the running adventure. Both events are also self-navigated, with minimal additional signage added to the course.
