We're back and it's our 11th year! We can't wait to welcome you once again to the fantastic Normanby Hall Adventure Race 2026 :)

NEW FOR 2026 WE HAVE A 5KM OPTION!!! 

The events take place over around our cross country horse course, with water / mud / sand / crawl nets and jumps... lots and lots of jumps (a few cheeky little hills and a swamp!) . Designed for ponies conquered by athletes :) 

How the course is, all depends on the weather before the big day... and we've had some very very fun years!

Everyone gets a cake and a medal, but you choose if you want to add a funky event t-shirt. These are specially designed with a theme for each event and every year is different. 

Profits from our clothing sales go to supporting free spots for our charity partners, direct donations or support our free coaching sessions or hiring communities venues to offer back to the running community :) 

Whether you're in it for the challenge and chasing times, positions or pb's or if you're doing it just for fun with friends, it's the perfect fun filled running adventure :)

Our 2025 event and charity partner was The Scunthorpe Samaritans team, they joined us for plenty of fun on the day!.

We're here to help spread awareness about the incredible work they do. 

Find out more about the Samaritans here! We love our Scunthorpe Samaritans friends, and were very proud that we get the opportunity to be alongside them :) 

Scunthorpe Samaritans, 

"These are tough times right now and more people may find themselves struggling to cope. We are proud to be partnering again with Curlys Athletes for the Normanby Hall Adventure Race. It is fantastic fun and a great way to help look after your own mental health while helping ensure Samaritans volunteers are there for those in need of our support."

The Waves! 

• 5km Wave, 09:30 **NEW for 2026**Great fun and taking in a single loop of the main adventure race course (with a spot of tweaking!) This is open to everyone ages 12 and over, and were really happy to be included it for the first time in 2026 as we know we had a lot of people asking for this! 

• 10km Wave, 10:45 It's time for the 'classic' adventure race distance... two laps of our lovely course which also means you get to visit our on course 'spa treatment facility' twice ;) 

• Do it twice! Yup we're still doing this! ... You'll set off in the 5km wave and then again in the 10k wave.You have one hour fifteen minute to get your first 5km done, to make sure you're back in time to go out again!  We've removed the t-shirts for 2026, dropped the price but you still get a unique trophy recognising your performance! 

• Juniors ... we're so looking forward to welcoming back our bale jumpers :) A mini Bale Jumper run down at the hall, it's a just for fun mini adventure and al the juniors get a medal and sweets at the finish, it's designed for 4-11 year olds :) and we DO NOT HAVE ANY ENTRIES ON THE DAY! (like all our events)
