Brilliant event! My first half marathon and amazingly- it was free! Will hopefully do it again in 2026 and significantly improve my time. Also the medal is super cool and worth the money!

A Great event. Could easily open it up to accomodate more runners as the 14 mile stretch eaaily copes with any congestion and nobody minds a bit of congestion as its a fun run with everyone beibg very kind considerate and courteous

First time doing this event and it was brilliant - extra kudos for being more than a half marathon! Easy drop off/collection as central to both Bridgwater and Taunton town. Good surface for an off the road run. Only slight criticism is I’m not a fan of wooden medals!
