The Alex Moore Memorial Relay
Alex Moore Festival
Race Information
Sunday 31st May 2026 – Norfolk Showground
Following the fantastic success of last year’s event, Norfolk Gazelles are delighted to bring back the Alex Moore Festival of Running for 2026.
The festival combines two much-loved races from the Norfolk running calendar – the Alex Moore Relay and The Big Stampede – into one exciting morning of racing and celebration at the Norfolk Showground.
The Alex Moore Relay spent many happy years based at the Goat Inn in Skeyton, but as the event grew in popularity we needed a larger venue. Meanwhile, The Big Stampede was always at the mercy of October’s unpredictable weather.
By bringing the races together at the Norfolk Showground, we have created a festival atmosphere that delivers everything runners love about both events.
