Blackdown Hills Half Marathon

The Blackdown Hills Half Marathon is a scenic trail race starting from Taunton Racecourse in Somerset, set amidst the beautiful Blackdown Hills. Runners can choose between a 10K or a half marathon, with the latter featuring a challenging course that reaches the highest point in the Blackdowns. The route includes lively forest trails, muddy paths, and peaceful roads, offering a mix of technical terrain and elevation changes, including a rewarding downhill section in the second half.

The event provides two fully stocked feed stations, ample marshals, and clear signage. Awards are given to the top male and female finishers, and all participants receive a large commemorative medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
