Event overview
The Taunton Half Marathon and Kids Kilometre Fun Run takes place in Taunton Town Centre on 1 March 2026. The event includes a road half marathon and a separate one-kilometre fun run for children. Both races use the town centre for race headquarters, start and finish, with all runners finishing along North Street with the Market House landmark in view. The organisers plan to close the town centre to traffic on race day for runner and spectator safety.
