Taunton Half Marathon

The Taunton Half Marathon is a well-established road race held in Taunton town centre, celebrating its 40th edition in March 2026. The event features a half-marathon distance that has historically attracted local runners aiming for personal bests and competitive victories. The course finishes along North Street with views of the iconic Market House, creating a vibrant, spectator-friendly atmosphere with parts of the town centre closed to traffic for safety.

Adding to the community spirit, a Kids Kilometre Fun Run follows the main race, using the same start and finish lines. All participants receive a special 40th edition medal, and the event is governed by UK Athletics rules. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
