Taunton Half Marathon & Kids Kilometre Fun Run
The event features a road half marathon and a separate Kids Kilometre fun run that uses the same start and finish area. Race headquarters, start and finish have been moved to Taunton town centre, with all runners finishing along North Street with the Market House in view. The town centre is closed to traffic for runner and spectator safety.

Organisers Active South West took over with the intention of continuing the race's long local legacy while adding elements from their trail-event background to increase community feel. All finishers of both races receive a medal. The half marathon has a cut-off of four hours. Awards are listed by male and female age categories: Open (under 30), V40, V50, V60 and V70.
The event is permitted by England Athletics via the Run Events programme and will have results posted on the Power of 10 portal. It is governed by UK Athletics rules for road races; specific race rules include a ban on in-ear or covered ear headphones while permitting bone-conducting headphones under UKA Rule T55, and a requirement that bib numbers be worn on the front of the torso.
Ticket prices vary; the published range includes entry options priced from £9.50 to £40.00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
