Run Norwich

@RunNorwich

It seems amazing that the race many said could never happen is about to take place.

Run Norwich is real, it’s here, and over 3,800 of you are going to be a part of it.

It has been the desire of the Community Sports Foundation and our football club’s Chief Executive David McNally to bring a large scale running event to Norwich for some time, and we took our first step towards making this happen when we got together with Tim Bishop from The Forum to assemble the Race Operations Board.

The board was made up of representatives from key local organisations, (myself, Jackie Thornton and Dan Wynne from CSF, Tim Bishop and Neil Gilding from The Forum, Ben Jones from Active Norfolk, Stefan Gurney from Norwich Business Improvement District, Nikki Rotsos from Norwich City Council, Pete Waters from Visit Norfolk, and Jamie Arnall from Norwich City Football Club).

Without the guidance, hard work and vision of these board members, there would be no race.

Last year, this group sat in the Community Sports Foundation boardroom at Carrow Road and talked about what we wanted our city centre 10K to be.

We wanted a race for everyone, which attracted top runners, but gave first-timers something to aspire to.

It needed to be an event for the city, which attracted visitors to see our wonderful home, and brought the whole community out for one special occasion.

And finally, we wanted something that would help local charities to fundraise and increase awareness of their amazing work.

It’s time to Run Norwich!

www.runnorwich.org 3

We feel that Run Norwich will be all of these things, and we’re so grateful to everyone that has played their part.

In order to bring Run Norwich to life, we knew we would need the passion and expertise of Adey Ewing (Course Director), Granville Courtnell (Race Director), and Richard Polley (Start/Finish Director).

In addition, we brought in the vastly experienced Fiona Roberts as Event Manager to work closely with our own Jackie Thornton and pull this large-scale event together. From the CSF team, Nicola Harvey, Freddie Powell-Tuck, Natalie Sawyer, Maria Wilson, and Emma Fletcher have all put in some hard hours to help shape the event. We were delighted when BT MyDonate came on board as main sponsor and official fundraising platform for Run Norwich. The BT MyDonate team, Sikander, Kevin, Alice, Dave, and Sian to name a few, have been a pleasure to work with, and are as excited as we are about the race.

Several local businesses have shown vital support as partner sponsors and our gratitude to Aston Shaw Chartered Accountants, Ashton KCJ Solicitors, Riverside Leisure Centre, Macron Store Norwich, and the Computer Service Centre, is huge. It is always difficult to find this support the first time round but these local organisations grasped the significance of the event right away and were really keen to be involved.

Everyone you will encounter during your Run Norwich experience is a volunteer, from the person who helped you to collect your race pack in the Forum, through to the smiling face that hands you a medal when you cross that finish line.

That’s around 300 guys and girls who are desperate to give you and the city of Norwich a memorable day out. I would like to thank all of them; because there is no way we could do this without their involvement and enthusiasm.

As was the Football Club’s wish from day one, three local charities will benefit from Run Norwich, in addition to the Community Sports Foundation; they are Nelson’s Journey, who work with bereaved children, Age UK Norwich, who help to improve the wellbeing of those in later life, and Norfolk Accident Rescue Service, who provide expert medical help at the scene of road crashes and other emergencies.

As a charity ourselves, we (CSF) use the power of sport and our Premier League football club to improve the lives of disabled and disadvantaged people in Norfolk. We hope that Run Norwich can enable all four charities to sustain and even increase their vital services.

A final thank you is to the 3,800 of you that have signed up to the first ever Run Norwich event.

Whether you have entered to set a new personal best, to take on a new challenge, or to fundraise for one of our charities, you’re part of something special and we wouldn’t be here without your support.

It’s our first crack at this, so we’ll be after your feedback via a questionnaire in order to make this event better and better every year.

So, if you’re running, good luck, you can do it.

If you’re supporting, get there early, wave those flags, and cheer until your throat hurts.

This is your race, Norwich. Let’s make it a day to remember.

8 Run Norwich 2015

First approached by event organisers, Norwich City FC’s Community Sports Foundation (CSF) in February 2014, Granville Courtnell and his team were tasked to deliver an exciting mass participation city-centre race that takes in some of the city’s most celebrated landmarks.

He is pleased with the final outcome:

“We needed to cater for a broad cross-section of abilities. We wanted to attract both experienced racers who will be after PB times, as well as a large number of people who will have been inspired to run this as their first ever road race.

“It was in fact very difficult for us to come up with a route that avoided the hills. Despite the stereotypes there are more hills in Norwich than you would think!”

“I’ve worked with Richard and Adey for many years on a large number of events, so we’re well used to working with each other!”

“Our primary focus in the technical team is concentrated on the course and road-race experience itself and ensuring that we achieve the necessary certifications and standards we are aiming for.”

Granville is joined on the Race Technical Team by Richard Polley, the Start/Finish Director and Adey Ewing, the Course Director. Between the trio, the Technical Team have decades of experience in road race organisation; their impressive resumes include the Trowse 10k, the Lord Mayor’s 5k City Centre Classic, the Norwich parkrun and the City of Norwich Half Marathon.

Meet the Race DirectorAs part of the Run Norwich race technical advice team, Race Director Granville Courtnell’s focus is on planning and implementing a first-class road race experience for all participants; from securing race licenses and reaching high-level local authority Safety Advisory Group agreements, right through to the finer details such as race signage and the running of the water stations.


While the city centre route is obviously a huge part of Run Norwich’s appeal, Granville admits it has thrown up some logistical challenges:

“The city centre will still be “living” all day Saturday, right through to the early hours. Most events of this size in more secluded locations usually have at least 24 hours pre-race in which to create their start/finish areas and for contractors to bring in the necessary equipment required – we won’t have this luxury.”

“It’ll be an early 4am start for the core team, before the army of support staff joins. We’ll have construction teams, first aid and medical support staff, Joint Operations Centre staff, resource teams, baggage teams, Race Village staff, hospitality and fundraising staff from our race charities…the list goes on!”

“Event Manager Fiona Roberts has put in a tremendous amount of work creating a very detailed time schedule that we all need to work to.”

“It’s incredibly exciting that we are so close to race day and that the original vision of Run Norwich will come to life.”

While Granville and his technical team have been concentrating on the road race, the Events team have been working hard to make sure that the atmosphere

on race day will be one that this first year’s entrants and spectators will talk about for many years to come.

Live music acts, entertainment and the Race Village area in Chapelfield Gardens will mean the city is a hive of activity on race day.

So with just a few days to go to Run Norwich, have there been many sleepless nights in the Courtnell household?

“I would like to say this hasn’t been the case, but, as always with being involved with an event of this scale, it’s an inevitability. Nerves? Excitement? Probably a combination of both. There’s always so many thoughts and pieces of information to process, assimilate and remember. I doubt that any member of the core team has not had one of those 4:00am sit up in bed moments, find a notepad and write something down!”

“Months and months of work by a considerable number of people and organisations have been invested in bringing this event to life, since the first feasibility meeting back in early 2014.”

“I have every expectation that Run Norwich will become a prestigious annual event on the national road running calendar for many years to come.”

The three are no strangers to organising city centre runs, as the City of Norwich Half Marathon, now based in its current home at the Showgrounds, started life originally in the city centre.

“To give you some idea of the scale of Run Norwich and how race organisation has changed, I often think back to these first Norwich-Half events in the 1980s.”

“Race day would involve around two rows of barriers for about 100 metres along both sides of the start in Gentlemen’s Walk and then the following year, we moved that Start/Finish to Chapelfield Gardens. The runners shared sections of the course with vehicle traffic and we had eight volunteers recording people’s race times by hand at the finish. It’s quite a stark contrast to the event we’ll be delivering on Sunday!”

The Run Norwich race route requires over a hundred road closures, will utilise 1,560 crowd barriers and well over 200 traffic cones.

A traffic management company will be deployed at the road closures to ensure safety procedures are met en-route, and a company has been employed to set up and record the finishing times via electronic chip timing, with results being available on the race website within a few hours of the race.

Hundred of volunteers from a variety of organisations and support groups will assist on the day.

Know the landmarks

The Forum 2002

The newest of the twelve historical and culturally important landmarks on the route, the Forum was built to mark the millennium in the East of England. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002. The building is run by a self-financing charitable trust and hosts a year-round line-up of events, exhibitions, activities and entertainment, most of which are free.

Did you know?Designed by architect Sir Michael Hopkins, the building cost £65 million

to build.

St. John the Baptist RC Cathedral1910

The second of two Cathedrals on the race route, St John’s Cathedral is often mistaken for its medieval counterpart because of its sheer size. One of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic revival architecture in England, it contains some of the most exquisite 19th century stained glass in Europe.

Did you know?It is the second largest Catholic Cathedral in the country, only behind Westminster Cathedral in London.

We’re proud of our city and proud of our run route.

Find out more about twelve of the most iconic landmarks that you will pass on the day:

Norwich Castlec1067

One of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, Norwich Castle was built as a royal palace for William the Conqueror around 1067AD at a time when most buildings were small, wooden structures: the huge stone keep was a symbol of the king’s power.

Did you know?From the 14th to the 19th century the keep was used as a county gaol.

Norwich City Hall 1938

The home of Norwich City Council, the building was opened in 1938 by King George VI to accommodate the growth in local council duties - replacing the Guildhall (see below).

Did you know?

The famous balcony on the front is one of the longest in the UK – it measures in at a whopping 111m long (that’s 90 lengths for those wishing to do 10k!)

Guildhall 1404

Dating back to the 15th century, the Guildhall is England’s largest and most elaborate medieval city hall outside London. It was central to civic and judicial life for over 600 years.

Did you know?Magistrates’ courts continued to be held in the building’s Common Council Chamber up until 1977, with prisoners held in the building until as late as 1980.

The Assembly House1248

One of the most glorious examples of Georgian assembly rooms architecture in the country, The Assembly House was used as a centre for entertainment for the local gentry.

Did you know?During its long history, it has hosted a waxworks exhibition by Madam Tussaud, a concert by celebrated Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, and many lavish balls including one in 1805 to celebrate Nelson’s famous victory in the Battle of Trafalgar.

12 Run Norwich 2015

Know the landmarks

Dragon Hall1430

Dragon Hall is a magnificent grade I listed medieval trading hall, built by wealthy local merchant Robert Toppes. It is the only known surviving building of its type in Western Europe. The building gets its name from an intricately carved and painted dragon on its famous roof.

Did you know?The beautiful crown-post roof was only rediscovered in the 1980s – for centuries it had been concealed within an everyday terrace façade.

Surrey House1900 The historic home of Aviva, Surrey House is a spectacular piece of Edwardian architecture built in 1900. The building has a commanding Palladian exterior and contains fifteen varieties of marble, classically inspired frescos and a stunning glass atrium.

Did you know?The building contains unusual items such as an ‘air fountain’ and a chiming skeleton clock made for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

St James Mill1839

St James is a quintessential English Industrial Revolution mill (in perhaps an unexpected part of the UK!). It was built between 1839 and 1846 as part of an attempt by the Norwich Yarn Company to prevent the collapse of the local textile trade.

Did you know?Following the decline of the textile industry, the building has been owned by two key Norwich businesses - Jarrolds (as a printing house) and Caley’s (to produce boxes for their chocolates. Today it is a private office complex.

The Great Hospital1249

The hospital is an exceptional set of medieval hospital buildings, in continuous use for more than 766 years. Founded in the 13th century it provided care of poor chaplains, scholars and paupers. Today, the hospital provides sheltered housing for older people and is also an events venue.

Did you know?The Great Hospital is the only English medieval hospital whose archives and fabric together survived the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

To find out more about the landmarks, you can visit www.norwich12.co.uk.

Carrow Road1935

The home of Norwich City Football Club since the 1930s, Carrow Road has played host to the Canaries for eighty years. Initially consisting of one covered seating stand and open terraces on earth banking on the other three sides, the ground could hold about 38,000 spectators. In more recent times, the construction of the Barclay and the Jarrold Stands, as well as all-seating conversions, means today the capacity of the ground is 27,224.

Did you know?The stadium was built in just 82 days! The ground was the new home of the club following their move from their old stadium, The Nest.

Norwich Cathedral1145

The iconic Cathedral is one of the most complete major Romanesque buildings in Europe. Most of its Norman architecture is still intact and its awe-inspiring scale signifies the power and permanence of the Norman invaders. The Caen stone used was imported from France and the immense building project required an army of masons, craftsmen, glaziers and labourers.

Did you know?In England, only the spire at Salisbury Cathedral is higher than that of Norwich’s Cathedral (96m/315ft).


Your race numberPlease add your personal information - including details of any current medication - to the reverse of your race number.

Then use a safety pin (these will be provided in your race pack) in each corner to attach it securely to the front of your running top so it remains fully visible at all times and doesn’t flap about. If you do not wear your race number as instructed, you may not be credited with a finish time. You must not cut, fold or otherwise mutilate your race number in any way. Your race number is colour coded based on your predicted finish time.

If you are unable to run, your race number must not be transferred to another runner under any circumstances - it has been issued to you for use by yourself, not by someone else. Anyone found wearing a number other than their own will be disqualified.

Chip timingYour timing chip is already affixed to the reverse of your race number. This chip will automatically record your race time, from the time you pass the start line to the time you cross the finish line.

IMPORTANT Please take care not to fold your chip or pierce it with your safety pins when attaching it to your clothing. Please don’t attempt to remove the chip or its foam backing from your race number for any reason as this could damage your chip and affect your result – i.e. you may not be credited with a finish time.

Even though the roads will be closed to traffic during the race we need you to be alert and aware of everything that is going on around you at all times. If we see you using an iPod or similar device during the race you will be disqualified and not credited with a finishing time in the official results. You may carry your mobile phone with you during the race for tracking purposes but, please, nothing in your ear(s).

The routeTaking place in the heart of Norwich’s historic city centre, Run Norwich will be entirely on closed city roads. The route will pass some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including Norwich Castle, The Forum, Norwich Cathedral, Norwich City’s Carrow Road and many more.

Active Norfolk is the County

Sports Partnership (CSP) for

Norfolk and their mission is to

make Norfolk an active, healthy

and successful sporting county.

Whether you are a sports club,

school, coach, volunteer, athlete

or just interested in getting

involved in sport and physical

activity, Active Norfolk can

provide you with the support,

information and advice you are

looking for.

Paul’s Run Norwich tipsDouble Olympian Paul Evans and his team of coaches have been working with over 80 people who are new to running, in the lead up to Run Norwich, to get them ready for their first 10k.

Now with just a couple of days to go, here are Paul’s top tips for getting to the start in the best shape possible.

Active Norfolk provides

opportunities throughout the

year for people of all ages and

ability to get involved in sport.

From the Sportivate sessions

– giving 14 to 25 year olds the

opportunity to try new sports,

to the Fit Together free health

walks for adults, as well as the

chance to get competitive with

others in Norfolk in the annual

Village Games programme.

Plus much more!

2Saturday evening

• Pack your race bag the night before, have a list of things to pack – don’t forget your race shoes, race number and safety pins.

• Try and get an early night if you can, remember tomorrow will be an early start!

• Play it safe, your evening meal should be a dish that is tried and tested and will not result in an upset stomach on race day.

1 Saturday – during the day

• All the hard work is now done. Saturday you should have your feet up, relaxing and conserving all your energy for tomorrow’s big effort.

• Don’t spend too much time on your feet. Resting up is the order of the day!

3Sunday - race day

• Same as last night - eat a breakfast you have had before. No experimenting!

• Get to the starting area in plenty of time find out where the start line is, where you need to be when the gun goes off, and where the toilets are.

• Give yourself plenty of time to warm up, this should not be rushed, the last thing you need is to get to the start line with your heart rate already racing because you are running late and already stressed.

• Pace judgement – everybody will have a race plan, my advice is, if anything undercook the first mile, you can always pull it back in the latter part of the race, when you are passing all the runners that ran the first mile too quick.

• Reward yourself after your run. Running 10k is something to be proud of - and you have been part of the inaugural Run Norwich 10k!

Come and see us at the runners meet and greet area after the race – just look out for the big purple gazebo!

22 Run Norwich 2015

Ouch! I’m only just managing to type this, my first training diary entry, as I build up to the Run Norwich 10k at the end of August.

Let me fill you in on why I’m running 10k, and also why I’m detailing the painful, slow process of getting my stiff back, dodgy knees and wheezing lungs into shape, via my new column.First of all why run it?

Well, I’m going to Run Norwich because I’m a very proud trustee of the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation, an incredible charity which does amazing work right across Norfolk. It was Nelson Mandela who said ‘sport has the power to change the world’, and I agree with him.

Sport gives you goals and ambitions, it increases your self-esteem, makes you live longer, teaches respect and discipline, and above all else is brilliant fun.

In my job, I’ve been fortunate enough to be kissed by Jenson Button as he’d just won the F1 world title, hugged by Aaron Ramsey moments after he’d scored the winning goal in an FA Cup final and witnessed many global sporting moments first hand.

However, despite being so inspired by sport and sports stars, I would currently struggle to run for 10 minutes, let alone for 10k.

Rewind the clock back two years and whilst I wasn’t exactly Mo Farah, I was certainly a lot fitter. Then came Florence.

If you’re a parent, reading this and shaking your head at my lack of dedication to fitness after having a child, I applaud you. Quite simply, Harriet and I couldn’t find the time to train. I was working hard, Flo was a terrible sleeper, and life just seemed to get rather busy. If you managed to produce babies, and trips to the gym then you’re a better man than me!

So, with too many wobbly bits, a penchant for pie and clearly caught off-guard, I found myself saying “Yes, I’d love to”, when asked to Run Norwich for the Norwich City Community Sport Foundation. So, here I am, sitting at my desk in late June, sipping some red wine (oops!) and gearing up to get fit again.

I’ve enrolled myself at SportsPark in Norwich, and I’m working with the brilliant Ben Price, who is very patient – good job!! I’m also following the training plan of former Olympian Paul Evans – he almost makes it seem simple.

TV presenter and Norwich native Jake Humphrey will be joining the thousands on the start line for Run Norwich this August. As first published in the Norwich Evening News, here are extracts from a series of blogs from Jake, as he experiences the ups and downs of training ahead of the big day:

Jake’s Run Norwich training blog

Wednesday 1st July 60 days to go!


The clock is ticking down, the days are being ticked off the calendar, the epic Run Norwich isn’t far away. So, therefore, I’m fighting fit, full of energy, improving my times, and getting the miles under my belt, right?

Wrong.

Since my last column, a bug has hit me. Nothing serious, just a runny-nosed, chesty-coughed,lethargy-inducing bug, and I know where I got it. How many of you reading this are parents? If you are, you’ll know what I mean by “kids’ bugs”. The kind of innocuous, mild cold that barely causes your child to slow down, yet can bring an adult to a grinding halt. Not great when I am feeling the Run Norwich date fast approaching. Having not run for a while, and feeling I’m now behind on my training, I decided to “run off” my bug.

Bad move.

My plan was to visit my brother’s house in Cringleford, then, while Harriet drove home with Flo and her ever-increasing eight-month baby bump, I’d run. It started OK, and for the first 10 minutes I felt fine, not great, a little tired, but fine. Some 15 minutes in, and suddenly my feet were lumps of concrete, my legs made of lead, and my lungs resembled those of a 60-a-day smoker.

Twenty minutes and just 3k down the road, I stopped. I STOPPED! It’s not long until I need to run three times that distance in front of people, and I gave up. That was bad, and what made it even worse was that by now Harriet was home, Flo was tucked up in bed, and I was alone with my aching, heavy legs and some “motivational” music on my iPhone that suddenly seemed very ironic. Eye of the Tiger? Pussycat more like. Perhaps it’s a low point all novice runners feel before they tackle their first big event. Maybe this was a wake-up call I needed telling me that 10k requires training, or maybe I’m just daft for trying to take on my bug.Whatever the reason for my struggles, the great news is that I still have weeks before the run, and what a run it’s going to be.

I know official figures have not yet been released, but trust me when I tell you that, I believe, this run is going to be HUGE, the biggest and best ever staged in Norwich. Thousands on the streets, plenty of local interest, and an event that isn’t a dull loop around a nondescript part of our county, but a picturesque plod right through the heart of our finest city.

So, my plan this week is to clear the cough, put this blip behind me, and finally start the build-up to the first ever Run Norwich...

You know that feeling you get when someone who doesn’t have kids tells you that they are tired? The overwhelming feeling of incredulity, that makes you, as a parent of young children, want shout ‘Tired?! You don’t know what tired is!”

To be honest, I had actually forgotten how ‘tired’ really felt. Our eldest, Florence, is now almost two and a half, so sleeps through the night, eats with us, and is like a mini-mate that fits in brilliantly with our often hectic lives.

Now, though, we are a family of four. Delicious little Sebastian was born on August 1st, and has proceeded to make his parents yawn more in a fortnight than the preceding two years.

Seb hasn’t been the best feeder, so we’ve been up every couple of hours in the night since he was born, when you factor in that each feed takes about 40 minutes you can see the problem. It’s the kind of tired that clouds your thoughts, leaves you stumbling in public, and leads to huge yawns at the most inappropriate moments.

Added to the above, the football season has entered our lives like one of those fast, dynamicinter-city trains that don’t seem to have reached Norfolk yet. I was at Old Trafford last weekend, at BT Sport HQ for a European game on Tuesday, I’m writing this on Wednesday on the train to London, and on Friday I’m in Southampton for the weekend game.

Anyway, the reason for this background, is that amongst the madness I still need to find time to train for Run Norwich. I am still aiming for a sub-1 hour time, and I just need to find time on my feet.

My latest running plan is to do a long-run every week. I just want to reach 30th August with no fear about the distance involved. If I can run 11k or 12k a week then I know come the big day, I’ll be ok.

I’m also doing this for a great cause. I’m running for the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation who are a wonderful charity improving Norfolk every day through sport. I’d love you to sponsor me, and if you would like to just search for ‘Jake’s 10k mydonate’ on the web.

Right, back to sleep on the train – it’s all about getting kip where and when I can!!

Friday 14th August

Thursday 16th July

45 days to go!

I passionately believe that sport can change lives. I’m a Trustee for the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation, which helps thousands of people every year to reach their potential through sport. From ages two to ninety two, we are there for anyone and everyone.

The race charities

Supporting local causesOne of our key aims when bringing Run

Norwich to life was to support and raise

awareness of local charities. Three special

causes were chosen to join event

organisers the Community Sports

Foundation, and hundreds of runners are

supporting them through fundraising or

by proudly wearing their branded t-shirts.

Let’s meet them…

It’s important to us that we not only support the community through our own work, but also that we as a football club offer a helping hand to some local causes that may not get the exposure that they deserve otherwise. Run Norwich will be a terrific event for the city, but also a way in which we can reach out to the community.

Ian Thornton, Director, Community Sports Foundation

Community Sports FoundationFounded: 1992

communitysportsfoundation.org.ukcommunitysportsfoundation @NorwichCityCSF

Sport is an incredibly powerful tool and, as Norwich City’s official charity, CSF are able to use it to improve the lives of those who need it most in Norfolk. It might be through swimming sessions for children and adults with disabilities, or working with young people in deprived areas - but in the most difficult moments, the Community Sports Foundation is there for Norfolk, providing an environment to make friends and learn new skills. Thousands rely on CSF’s support as a way of life; it may be their only contact with other people, a helping hand for their families, or even the first time that someone has shown an interest in their lives. In order to sustain CSF’s vital services for the people of Norfolk, the charity relies heavily on the fundraising efforts of local people and businesses.

Father of five Martin Smith is fundraising for the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation for the support they’ve offered his son, Ollie.

Ollie was born with Down’s Syndrome and a number of other complications including moderate hearing loss.

“Early on, his confidence was knocked. He used to get upset, cry a lot and had trouble communicating.”

After finding Ollie’s younger brother a football team, Martin decided to see if there were any options out there that would cater for Ollie’s needs.

Martin’s StoryHe discovered CSF’s Down’s Syndrome Soccer Skill Centre via social media, and decided to send young Ollie along to the sessions.

It wasn’t long before Ollie began flourishing in their supportive environment:

“Now on the day of the sessions, he’ll put his kit on bright and early. He’s now out in the garden at home, and it’s brought him closer to his brother as they now share a common interest in football.”

Watch Martin’s story on the CSF playlist on Norwich City FC’s Youtube channel.

“I will Run Norwich for CSF, as seeing my son smile and have more confidence is the best thing a parent can ask for.”

Norfolk Accident Rescue Service

Founded: 1970

nars.org.ukNorfolkAccidentRescueService@NARSBASICS

Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS) provides expert medical help at the scene of road crashes and other emergencies. The doctors and paramedics who volunteer to NARS have received extra training to provide trauma care and can administer more drugs at the scene of a crash or cardiac arrest, which is vital during the critical moments of an incident. All NARS members are volunteers and offer their services free of charge in their spare time. They are funded solely by donations and receive no government or health service funding.


Jan Wheeler is fundraising for NARS for the support they provided for a close family friend and work colleague of hers, who were both involved in serious roadside accidents.

The first casualty saw her friend Roseanne’s car overturn in a water-filled ditch. Paramedic Ryan Warwick, who is not able to swim, jumped into the ditch in an attempt to rescue her. His efforts were extensive but unfortunately Roseanne lost her life.

Jan’s Story“They [NARS] don’t think about themselves when they go out to these accidents, they think about people they don’t know and just want to save their lives.”

Shortly after, Jan’s work colleague Laney, was involved in a separate accident. Fortunately, paramedics managed to rescue her; she was airlifted to Addenbrookes Hospital.

“If NARS hadn’t been there that night, Laney wouldn’t be here today.”

Watch Jan’s story on the CSF playlist on Norwich City FC’s YouTube channel.“I will Run Norwich

for NARS as I want to raise awareness for the fantastic job that they do and their courage, bravery and dedication.”

Nelson’s Journey is a charity dedicated to supporting bereaved children and young people throughout Norfolk.

Based in Norwich and founded in 1997, Nelson’s Journey have helped thousands of children up to the age of 17, who have experienced the death of a significant person in their life such as a parent or sibling.

Grief can be incredibly difficult for children and young people and it is normal for them to feel sad, anxious, angry, confused, guilty and abandoned. It’s also normal to sometimes feel relieved or to feel numb, and it’s important that they know that however they feel is ok and not disrespectful to the person who died. The charity’s vision is to give every bereaved child in Norfolk the support they need to move forward positively with their lives, never having to cope with their loss alone.

Their 1:1 sessions, therapeutic weekends, activity days and NJ Clubs offer support tailored to each child’s needs and circumstances, and their guidance gives parents and carers the tools they need to support them.

Volunteer Debbie Tooke has been actively involved with Nelson’s Journey for ten years and is incredibly passionate about the charity.

Debbie assists with daily activities and weekend residentials; she frequently sees children struggling to cope with their bereavement.

“On their arrival, children are typically quiet and introverted as they are dealing with immense heartache and grief.”

Through activities, children are encouraged to gradually

Debbie’s Storyexpress emotions and personal memories.

“These activites allow children to express how they are feeling which is the first stage in dealing with the loss of the loved one.”

When her friend’s son received support from the charity following a bereavement, Debbie became ever more aware of the massive impact that Nelson’s Journey has on young lives - part of which inspired her decision to fundraise for them at Run Norwich.

Watch Debbie’s story on the CSF playlist on Norwich City FC’s YouTube channel.

“I will Run Norwich for Nelson’s Journey as I see children, struggling to cope with a bereavement or loss, leave the service a better person, with a brighter smile.”


Age UK NorwichFounded: 1945

ageuk.org.uk/norwichAgeUKNorwich @AgeUKNorwich

Age UK Norwich helps people enjoy later life, by maintaining their independence and well-being. They offer advice and information on all matters of concern to older people, lots of activities and clubs as well as long-established befriending service, offering friendship, conversation and support. Meanwhile, their Marion Road Centre combines specialist day care with fun activities and lunches. Opened in 1986, it provides care for older people in Norwich who are living with dementia or other mental illness. Age UK Norwich relies very much on the support of ordinary people to be able to provide their services. As public spending declines, they look more and more to individual people’s generosity to keep their services going and ensure that no-one has no-one.

Pamela Swainson is fundraising to raise awareness for the help Age UK Norwich have provided Sheila, a dear friend of hers.

Pamela began visiting Sheila earlier this year under her role as an Age UK Norwich ‘befriender’; it wasn’t long before they became great friends and Sheila became “part of the family.”

Despite various health scares, which significantly knocked her confidence, Sheila’s life has been turned around through the help and services available at Age UK Norwich.

“She is now happy to walk down the street and go to

Pamela’s Storythe shops on her own. She’s a healthier person and feels [the help through Age UK Norwich] has taken her life to a whole new step.”

Now, Sheila has the opportunity to meet new friends and can take part in various services available including art classes - a personal highlight of hers!

Pamela is passionate about the charity’s work:

“No one should have no one. I have made a lifelong friend, she’s amazing and inspirational to anyone that would meet her.”

Watch Pamela’s story on the CSF playlist on Norwich City FC’s YouTube channel.

“I will Run Norwich for AgeUK because they rely solely on donations and voluntary work. I’ve seen the difference it makes first hand.”

Ruddy and McVeigh set for the challenge!

Familiar facesOver 3,800 of you have entered Run Norwich this year. Here are some names you may be familiar with:

Jake Humphrey - TV presenter

Paul McVeigh - former Norwich City winger

Laura Ruddy - wife of Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy

Simon Wright - former Norwich South MP

Lucy Parmenter - partner of Norwich City striker Gary Hooper

Dan O’Hagan - football commentator & TV presenter

Katherine Nash - BBC Look East presenter

Michael Bailey - Sports journalist & presenter

Pete Raven - Sports journalist

Laura Ruddy and Canaries legend

Paul McVeigh are two of a number

of high-profile names

that will be on the

start-line for

Run Norwich

on Sunday

30th

August.

The race,

organised

by Norwich

City FC’s official

charity partner the

Community Sports Foundation

(CSF), has attracted over 3,800 in its

inaugural year.

Laura, wife of Norwich City

first-team goalkeeper John Ruddy,

is no stranger to the world of

running and says she is ready for

the challenge:

“I do have some running

experience – I represented my

county as a schoolgirl and I took

part in the London Marathon for

this first time this April, which I

absolutely loved.”

Laura won’t be alone - she has enlisted

Lucy Parmenter, partner of City striker

Gary Hooper, to join her on the run:

“We’ve promised we won’t race

each other, though I suspect Lucy

could comfortably beat me if it

came down to it! It’s great to hear

that so many women of all ages

have signed up to this race,

including many first-time runners.”

“I like to think I’ve kept myself in good

shape from my playing days – I’ve done

a few half marathons, marathons and

5Ks, but never a 10k. I’m tentatively

targeting a sub-45 minute finish!”

and disadvantaged people in the local

community. CSF director Ian Thornton said:

“I’m delighted that both Paul and Laura

have chosen to support CSF in the run.

The response from runners who wish

to support not just our charity but the

three other official race causes has been

fantastic.

“As a football club we are committed to

supporting charities and the vision behind

launching Run Norwich, besides

increasing participation in sport and

attracting visitors to the city, was to give

these worthy causes funds and exposure.

“We’re grateful to all our race sponsors

and partners for their invaluable support.”

Ex-City winger Paul McVeigh

will also be joining Laura

and Lucy on the start-line,

along with TV presenter Jake

Humphrey.

McVeigh, who has recently moved back

to the area, said he didn’t hesitate when

asked if he wanted to run the event:

“It’s going to be a massive event for

the city of Norwich and the

organisers have chosen a really

exciting route. I’m glad to see it

includes a lap around Carrow Road -

it will be nice to be back in familiar

surroundings!

Both Ruddy and

McVeigh are using

their links to the

football club to run

on behalf of CSF

and help support

Want to improve your personal best?That’s an instinct we understand at Sir Isaac.We encourage our students to be the best they can, and as a specialist science and maths sixth form we kit them out with the facilities and skills to make that happen.

But we also make sure our students have a brilliant range of cultural and sporting activites outside the classroom: we want them to enjoy their time.

So whatever your time, we hope you enjoy the Norwich 10k.

Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form Bethel Street, Norwichwww.isaacnewtonsixthform.co.uk

If you like to take your exercise with a view, you’re in the right city. This weekend more than 4000 runners will be treated to some of the most beautiful sights of Norwich – albeit at a rather fast pace.

The Run Norwich 10k route showcases the architecture, culture and historic city centre with a circuit that takes in 11 of the ‘Norwich 12’ buildings – widely considered to be the UK’s finest collection of individually outstanding heritage buildings. You will experience everything from Norwich Castle – which was built as a royal palace more than 900 years ago – to The Forum, the landmark millennium building for the East of England.

Of course, you’ll need more than your circuit time to make the most of Norwich; whether you’re familiar with the city or just visiting for a short break, we’ve put together some of the not-to-be-missed attractions to get you off the starting blocks.

Summer in the City

Norwich is buzzing with events and attractions and there are plenty of ways to stay entertained, whether you’re here for the culture, arts and history or the shopping, restaurants and tourist sights.

Summer in the City of Stories

During the summer we like to slip into weekend mode from Thursday evening. The city’s Head Out, Not Home programme of free early-evening entertainment sees performers filling the streets from 5pm. This week’s entertainment includes an escape artist and a 30-piece male acapella group.

You will also notice that we are sharing the streets with a troop of flamboyant dragons, the GoGoDragons! art and sculpture trail will help you to track down all 84 dragons between now and 5th September. Pick up a map from The Forum or download the Discover Norwich app to get started.

A great way to see the city, and rest your legs, is to hop on to the City Sightseeing bus which takes you on a circuit of the city; leaving hourly from Theatre Street between 10.30am and 3.30pm. For an only-in-Norwich experience visit Jarrold department store on London Street, it’s been part of city life for 200 years. Or, for a real taste of the city, visit Colman’s Mustard Shop & Museum, it’s the only one in the world.

Norwich is an historic and culturally vibrant city, so you can expect to be kept busy if you’re interested in seeing some of the art or heritage attractions. Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery is a must-see as well as the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (at the University of East Anglia). For an insight into Norwich through the ages, head to the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell and find out which industries catapulted the city into the world market.

Visit www.visitnorwich.co.uk for a detailed city guide and for full details of all the events and attractions as well as opening times, admission charges and maps.

Top places to re-fuel

You’ll find an abundance of independent cafés and restaurants around The Norwich Lanes and the Cathedral Quarter. For river views head to Riverside Entertainment Centre where world flavours meet family favourites; it’s family focused by day and lively by night. In the city centre you’ll find a fusion of flavours from French and Italian cuisine to Asian and South American.

Pick up an Eat Norwich guide from the Tourist Information Centre, inside The Forum, for more ideas and some dining discounts.

Have a run around the county

Spend some time in the Broads National Park where you can hire a boat and experience the waterways. You’ll find plenty of pubs and restaurants at the water’s edge where you can moor up for free.

If you want to walk, or run, in the open countryside, check out the Norfolk Trails network which brings together more than 1,200 miles of pathways. You can warm up for Run Norwich with walks varying from one mile to the full 93 miles of the Angles Way.

Norwich is also surrounded by pretty market towns which offer something different. You’ll find plenty to see in Wymondham, Loddon, Harleston and Diss.

Summer in the City

Norwich is buzzing with events and attractions and there

are plenty of ways to stay entertained, whether you’re here

for the culture, arts and history or the shopping,

restaurants and tourist sights.

During the summer we like to slip into weekend mode

from Thursday evening. The city’s Head Out, Not Home

programme of free early-evening entertainment sees

performers filling the streets from 5pm. This week’s

entertainment includes an escape artist and a 30-piece

male acapella group.

You will also notice that we are sharing the streets with a

troop of flamboyant dragons, the GoGoDragons! art and

sculpture trail will help you to track down all 84 dragons

between now and 5th September. Pick up a map from

The Forum or download the Discover Norwich app to get

started.

A great way to see the city, and rest your legs, is to hop

on to the City Sightseeing bus which takes you on a circuit

of the city; leaving hourly from Theatre Street between

10.30am and 3.30pm. For an only-in-Norwich experience

visit Jarrold department store on London Street, it’s been

part of city life for 200 years. Or, for a real taste of the city,

visit Colman’s Mustard Shop & Museum, it’s the only one in

the world.

Norwich is an historic and culturally vibrant city, so you can

expect to be kept busy if you’re interested in seeing some

of the art or heritage attractions. Norwich Castle

Museum and Art Gallery is a must-see as well as the

Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (at the University of East

Anglia). For an insight into Norwich through the ages, head

to the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell and find out

which industries catapulted the city into the world market.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I lose my race number?

If you lose your pack please visit the race information desk in The Forum, as early as possible on race day. The race information desk will be open from 7am.

Where will the race start, finish and race village be located?

The grand start and finish line will be located on St. Peter’s Street – that’s the road in front of City Hall, overlooking the market. Perfect for those finish line photos! The race village will be just around the corner in Chapelfield Gardens. This will be the spot to reunite with friends, family and fellow runners as well as enjoy post-race food, refreshments and entertainment. You’ll even be able to grab a post-race massage from our masseurs.

If the weather is bad on race-day, how can I find out up-to-date race information?

In the unlikely event that there are severe weather conditions of the morning of the race, we shall communicate instructions via our Facebook and Twitter accounts, or our website.

Is there a time limit for finishing the race? What happens if I start to fall behind this time limit?

Due to certain restrictions on the amount of time that the event course will be available, we have imposed the following cut-off time for entrants to reach this milestone by:4.5km – 50 minutes

I will have a number of items with me on race day. Will there be anywhere to store them while I run?

Yes. You will be able to leave them in our secure area located on Bethel Street. The area will be open from 8:00am till 1:00pm on race day. Please note that whilst the area will be staffed throughout, you will be storing your items entirely at your own risk so please don’t leave expensive valuables.

Will there be toilets available for runners on the course?

If you need to make a quick pit-stop, there will be facilities available to use at Norwich City Football Club (Carrow Road) at around the 4km mark. There will also be portaloos available at the start and finish area.

Will there be drink stations on the route?

There are two water stations on the route. The first station is located at Norwich City Football Club (Carrow Road) on the 4km mark and the second opposite the Great Hospital on Bishopgate (7.5km into the route).

Will you be using electronic chip timing to record my race time?

Yes. The race will be officially timed by Chip Timing UK. Each race number comes equipped with an electronic chip. Your race time will be automatically recorded from the time you pass the start line to the time you cross the finish line.

Will there be any road traffic on the course?

No. Aside from the ‘lead car’ and support vehicles, there will be nothing on the route apart from you and your fellow runners!

What happens if I am late on the day and miss the start?

As we have a strict timetable to re-open roads, once the back pace runner has passed the start line we will not allow any further runners to start the race.

Will there be race markers for each mile/km?

Each kilometre will be clearly signposted, so you will know exactly where you are on the race course.

44 Run Norwich 2015

Will there be first aid provision during the race?

There will be a number of qualified first aid teams on duty to assist with runners, should they feel unwell or become injured.

Will there be official race photographers? Can I buy photographs?

Yes. Epic Action Imagery will be the official event photographers. Photos tagged with your race number will be available to purchase from their website within 36 hours. Norwich City CSF will have also have a number of photographers working during the day as well. Photos will be uploaded to Run Norwich’s & CSF’s Facebook pages.

If I lose one of my belongings, is there a designated spot for lost property?

Any items of lost property that are handed in will be taken to the race information desk inside The Forum. After the event, any lost property will be taken to the CSF office (Floor Two of Norwich City Football Club, Carrow Road, Norwich, NR1 1JE).

What sort of terrain can I expect in the race?

The terrain will be all tarmac, as it follows the city’s roads throughout. No traditional city-centre cobbles or pavements to deal with, don’t you worry!

What is the course like?

The course will pass a number of the city’s most historic and iconic landmarks. Largely flat (we are in Norfolk after all), the biggest ascent is the Rouen Road part of the course (2-3 km / 5-6 km).

Will there be a lead car?

Yes.

Can I wear headphones during the race?

No. Headphones are strictly prohibited, as we need every runner to be aware of their surroundings and alert to instruc-tions from race marshals / police officers if necessary. But, really, who’d want to miss out on the encouragement and cheers from thousands of spectators? You may take your phone or run-tracking device with you on the run however, as long as no earbuds or headphones are used.

Where and when will the results be published?

Our aim is to get the results up as soon as possible after the race. ChipTimingUK, who are responsible for the event timing, will look to post the results up within six hours of the race finishing. They will be accessible on the Results page of the website.

What happens when I cross the finish line?

Aside from a big feeling of euphoria (or relief!), your timing chip will automatically record your official race time for you. You will be presented with your race medal, receive a goody pack and be directed to the Race Village, where you can reunite with your friends and family and enjoy some of the post-race entertainment.

Can I run in fancy dress?

Of course! As long as you can still stay within the race time limit, fancy dress is welcome. Please ensure that any costumes are not offensive.

Can I run with a buggy or pushchair?

We don’t allow buggies, pushchairs, prams or any other wheeled devices, nor any participants under the age of sixteen. At any rate, we suspect children will prefer to be soaking up the atmosphere of the event as a spectator, rather than hurtling along the roads of Norwich in a pushchair!

I have a bike. Where can I leave it during the race?

There are a number of bike racks in the city centre which you will be able to use. The best location to put your bike will be the bike racks located outside The Forum.
