About the race

The Blackdown Hills Half Marathon is a thrilling trail race held at Taunton Racecourse in Somerset, set amidst the scenic Blackdown Hills. Runners can choose between a 10K or a half marathon, with the latter featuring a challenging course that reaches the highest point in the Blackdowns. The route includes lively forest trails, muddy paths, and peaceful roads, offering a mix of technical terrain and elevation changes.

The half marathon features significant climbs early on, followed by rewarding downhill sections. The event provides two fully stocked feed stations, ample marshals, clear signage, and awards for top finishers, along with a large finisher’s medal for all participants.
