The Taunton Race for Life 5K takes place from Bridgwater & Taunton College and is organised by Cancer Research UK. This welcoming charity event encourages participants of all ages and abilities to walk, jog or run the 5K while raising vital funds for life saving cancer research.
The course starts and finishes on grass before following a mixed terrain route through the picturesque Longrun Meadow. Mainly using gravel paths with sections of grass and gentle slopes, the course offers attractive views across the meadow and provides an enjoyable challenge in a natural setting.
The event offers a friendly and supportive atmosphere where everyone can complete the course at their own pace. Accessible facilities, well organised race day support and the opportunity to contribute to an important cause have made the Taunton Race for Life 5K a popular event in the Somerset summer running calendar.
