What you’re in for
Both routes leave Taunton Racecourse for the northern edge of the Blackdown Hills. The 10.8km course is quick but still technical underfoot, with around 208m of climbing. The 22.2km half adds a climb to the highest point of the Blackdowns, with roughly half its 540m of ascent done by halfway and a long downhill finish. Expect forest tracks, muddy paths and some quiet roads. The route is fully flagged and signed, with two feed stations, a four-hour cut-off and a minimum age of 17. The organiser says it returns in 2027 but has not yet published a date.
