This race is for those under the age of five. Participants can bring a tricycle or balance bike, or make their way round the course on foot. It’s a fun, non-competitive race round the traffic-free town centre course. Every child gets a free goody bag and medal. Places are limited and a responsible adult must accompany the child. Entry is £2 per child; accompanying adults are free.

Updates are available on the Active Fakenham website and social media. The roads will be closed from 8.00am until 6.00pm
We have arranged for the Tesco and Aldi car parks to be available all day for no charge (they will turn the cameras off)
