Foundation Partners Norse Group return to headline the event.

Ian Thornton OBE, the Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We are delighted that Norse has continued to support the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation and Run Norwich as Foundation Partners.

“Run Norwich provided a great platform to continue work with Norse Group last year, but it’s clear that their charitable objectives go far beyond that, and a strategic partnership with the Foundation presents the ideal opportunity for both parties.

“We are thoroughly looking forward to continuing this flourishing partnership across the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation and Run Norwich. Their beliefs and charitable aspirations align perfectly with everything we’re looking to achieve to further support and inspire our community.”

Justin Galliford, Norse Group’s Chief Executive Officer said:

“As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Run Norwich, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible energy and spirit of the event. Having attended last year, I was truly impressed by how the people of Norfolk came together to support their local community and the Community Sports Foundation.

“The event perfectly embodies our core values – encouraging and supporting community engagement. It’s a privilege to be a partner of the Foundation and an event that highlights the strength of Norfolk’s residents in supporting one another.”
