Taunton Half Marathon and Kids Kilometre Fun Run
Active South West Ltd presents the Taunton Half Marathon & Kids Kilometre Fun Run, a town centre road event. The race headquarters, start, and finish are located in Taunton town centre, with runners finishing along North Street with a view of the Market House. The organizers moved the race to the centre to increase spectator access and community focus. The town centre will be closed to traffic for runner and spectator safety.
The event includes two races:
- Half Marathon
- Kids Kilometre Fun Run
All finishers in both races receive a medal. The half marathon has a four-hour cut-off. Awards are given by gender in the following age categories: Open (under 30), V40, V50, V60, and V70. The event is permitted by England Athletics and governed by UK Athletics rules for road races. Participants must wear bib numbers on the front of their torso and comply with headphone restrictions (bone conducting headphones allowed).
