The Galley Hill Dash is an unusual hill running challenge in Mile Cross, Norwich. Runners tackle Galley Hill 10 times on the way up and nine times on the way down, covering approximately 1.5 miles in total and earning a medal for completing the challenge.
Open to all ages, the Dash puts repeated climbing at the heart of the event. The road based course is not chip timed, creating a simple community race format where the challenge comes from conquering the hill again and again.
A programme of free fun races and activities follows the main Dash, including the Everyone Up the Hill event alongside wheelbarrow, hobby horse and other community challenges. The event is organised by EPIC Norfolk with the Mile Cross Project & Events Group.
