Taunton Half Marathon & Kids Kilometre (01/03/2026)
The event is the 40th edition of the Taunton Half Marathon with an added Kids Kilometre fun run. Both races use a town centre race headquarters and the same start and finish area, with all runners finishing along North Street with the Market House in view. The town centre will be closed to traffic for runner and spectator safety. The new race directors, with a background in organising trail events, plan to maintain professional road-race standards while adding more community-style elements. All finishers in both races will receive a special 40th edition medal.
