Jolly Randoms

Looking for a relaxed, friendly way to enjoy trail running in Norfolk?
Join the Jolly Randoms, a welcoming group that mixes trail novices, seasoned runners, training-resters, and chatty joggers! In short, everyone who loves to explore the trails without the pressure of pace or performance.

The Jolly Randoms are all about fun, friendship, and the joy of running off-road.

Each Jolly Randoms session covers around six miles, depending on terrain and the group make-up. The pace is steady and sociable, with built-in rest and photo stops, perfect for taking in the scenery, catching your breath, and sharing a few laughs along the way.

Expect a pace of between 10.00 – 12.00 minutes per mile, with brief stops for photos and to take in the views. The session usually lasts 1.5 hours.

Whether you’re new to trail running or just want a lighter session between races, these runs are ideal for building confidence and enjoying the great Norfolk outdoors.

The Jolly Randoms are especially popular in the summer months, when the trails are dry, the evenings are long, and the Norfolk countryside and coast is at its best.
But don’t be fooled – we run all year round! When the darker months arrive, we keep the adventure going with evening trail runs by head torch. Yes, it’s dark, yes, it’s muddy… and yes, it’s great fun!

Trail running with the Jolly Randoms means embracing every season and every challenge Norfolk’s trails have to offer.
