The Superhero Challenge

What is the challenge?

The Norfolk Superhero is a charity quadrathlon for those who relish an endurance challenge. Participants take part in teams of two and together cover a course that includes a 1 mile swim, a 4 mile kayak through the creeks, a 45 mile circular cycle route and an 8 mile run across the beach finishing with the last mile over the marsh. Teams must stick together and help each other out although there is a good mix of competition on show as well.

- Who is doing it?

 

The Norfolk Superhero is a team event consisting of either male, female or mixed pairs who complete the course together. 

 

We invite back everyone who took part the previous year. Once we have an idea of numbers we are able to invite people off our waiting list. We always wish we could accommodate everyone, but we are very limited on numbers due to physical space and the tide. 

​

To join our waiting list, please email nick@norfolksuperhero.co.uk
