Blackdown Hills trail run - 10K & half marathon - 24th April 22'

Blackdown Hills trail run - 10K & half marathon distances 

We are excited to be holding our first trail event of the year in the beautiful Blackdown Hills!

Join us for an awesome run/walk setting off from Taunton racecourse where you will head up onto the hills & discover tucked away trails, quiet country roads and unrivalled scenery through the local forests. Along the route expect stiles, gates, uneven terrain and possibly some small streams to navigate. 

Both the 10K and the half marathon route will have feed stations along the way to help fuel your journey to the finish line... Where you will be rewarded with an epic wooden medal & other goodies!

We look forward to seeing you at the event and can’t wait for you to experience this amazing trail route!
