Support at the Oobleck Challenge

Local community event


Location
The Forum
Millennium Plain
Norwich
NR2 1TF
Date and time
12:30 - 15:30
Sunday, 16th of February 2025


As part of the Norwich Science Festival, GoodGym Norwich will be supporting this super exciting and unique event.

Can you run across a pool of Oobleck and beat the World Record? This non-Newtonian fluid behaves like a solid if a strong force is acted upon it. Left alone, Oobleck will behave like a liquid - if you go too slow, you may sink down into this gooey mixture of cornstarch and water!

Mark Thompson will be guiding the World Record attempt, and members of the audience will get a chance to take on the challenge.

Participants in the world record attempt must be over 16, but all ages are welcome to come along and watch, and cheer on our record breakers!

The event will take place at The Forum between 1-3pm, so GoodGym Norwich will be required from 12.30-3.30pm.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at The Forum, and The Forum and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages

I'm the Area Activator for GoodGym Norwich. I love running and socialising with the GG family.
