Pier 2 Pier Norfolk 2025

Pier 2 Pier Norfolk is a 32 mile walk along the Norfolk Coastal Path between Cromer Pier and Britannia Pier, Great Yarmouth. The aim is to complete the walk within 12 hours. Please do not underestimate this challenge!  32 miles along multi-terrain (sand, shingle, paths, dunes) is physically demanding but the sense of achievement will be amazing when you’re enjoying your hot food at the end!

All participants must be aged 16 and over on the day of the event. (Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult taking part).

We will be with you every step of the way. The route will be fully marked for you and you will be provided with handy route guides which will keep you updated with information about the areas you’re passing through, as well as nearest local facilities.

There will be four rest stops along the route with drinks and refreshments, as well as water refills. At the finish line you will be welcomed with hot food and high fives!

There will be water and snacks available at the four rest stops plus sandwiches & salads at the lunchtime stop. We are able to cater for dietary requirements but if there is any specific food or drink you require you will need to bring this on the day. Once you finish the route you will receive fish and chips and a celebration drink.  We advise stopping at the rest stops for no longer than 10 minutes to keep your legs mobile and for lunch a maximum of 30 minutes.

Toilets are provided at the start, rest stops and finish line. There are also a number of public toilets available for use along the route.

We cannot stress the importance of good kit and equipment.  We suggest the following:

• Walking boots– these need to be comfortable and not new on the day!
• Socks – a good pair or 2!
• Lightweight jacket – windproof/waterproof
• Rucksack for essentials (water, nutrition, spare clothing, wet weather and hot weather gear)
• Reusable water bottle.
• Base layers – great to prevent chaffing!!! (Vaseline just in case they don’t prevent it)
• Sun cream and hat
• Compeed – worth having with you just in case you get a blister.
• Any medical supplies you need

For an extra fee you can hop on board a coach on the morning of the event to take you from Great Yarmouth to Cromer, your car will then be at the finish once you complete the walk. Parking fees apply at North Drive car park.

You can also:

Car share – leaving a car in Great Yarmouth and Cromer.

Drop off – ask family or friends to drop you off and collect you at the end.

We highly recommend you train for this challenge, 32 miles is a long way and should not be underestimated. Remember to wear the same kit you plan to walk in during the challenge. The mixed terrain also makes it even more challenging. Walking over sand, shingle and dunes takes it toll so it’s a great idea to train on similar terrain.

Please do not turn up having completed no training.

We ask that you try and raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship. Your entry fee helps covers the running costs of the event. EACH depends on your fundraising to help care for children and young people with life threatening conditions and support their families. We can support you to hit the fundraising target and provide a personal fundraising page, sponsor form and sweepstakes game.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate dogs at this event due to the distance covered on the day.
