The Fakenham Easter Sunday Festival of Running features a closed-road 5km run, 1km fun run and a Toddle 'n' Trike event for under-fives.

Richard Crook from organisers Active Fakenham said: "These exciting new additions came after a local business suggested a team event for the 5k race."

Pitched as a family-friendly day out, the festival will also include a barbecue, free face painting, massages, stalls and other activities.

This year sees the introduction of a special team shield for the 5k, and a dedicated showcase for community groups.

Mr Crook said: "The 5k Team Challenge Shield is currently being made from recycled oak by members of the Fakenham Community Shed."
