Taunton Marathon & Half Marathon

About this event

The Taunton Marathon & Half Marathon brings runners to the heart of Somerset's county town each March. The half marathon route winds through Taunton's historic streets and surrounding countryside, offering a mix of urban and rural scenery. While the course suits runners with some experience under their belts, the relatively flat terrain and well-supported route make it an approachable challenge for those ready to step up their distance. The event has a welcoming, community feel, with local supporters turning out to cheer participants through the town. For those exploring races in Southwest England, this early-season event provides a solid training opportunity or goal race before the busier spring calendar kicks in.
