Event overview

Welcome to the 40th edition of the Taunton Half!

Taunton Half Marathon is back! Love road running? Love running 13.1 miles? Get this event in your running calendar!

The Taunton Half Marathon is a professionally-organised and hugely popular road half with a deep legacy and an exciting new feel too.

Adding to the community feel, there will be a new 'Kids Kilometre' fun run added to the proceedings. This will start just after the main event and use the same start and finish lines to give the little runners that race day buzz.

runners

Both races will move to the town centre for race HQ and the start/finish with all runners finishing along North Street with the iconic Taunton landmark of the Market House in view. This brings real theatre to the event and makes it very spectator-friendly and community-focused. The town centre will be closed to traffic for runner and spectator safety so if you're running, bring your entourage to see you off and cheer you across the finish line.

Come and be part of the 40th edition of this awesome road race in Somerset's county town!

'Bringing people together through outdoor events – for health, happiness, and community.'
