Has a bit of everything! Trails, fields, steep inclines and glorious downhills to stretch the legs. There’s a couple of miles worth of roads to run on but other than that, you’ll be amongst the muddy tracks. Can get tricky and technical after heavy rain. It’s a very well organised event and the second Prosper Event race I’ve done and I’ll be sure to do more with them. I haven’t got a bad word to say about them from booking the race to finishing the race. Well marshalled, easy to follow and good feed stations as always.

Organiser's description
Come be a part of an exciting trail race set in the Blackdown Hills! Choose from a 10K or Half Marathon setting off from the Taunton racecourse. Enjoy the awesome terrain of this remarkable area & conquer the highest point in the Blackdown's if you choose the half marathon course. Feel the excitement as you race along lively forest trails, muddy paths, and peaceful roads. Don’t miss this fantastic event, where hundreds take on these amazing trails!
The 10K is a fast paced course however still technical underfoot with a little over 200 meters of elevation... If you decide to take on our half marathon, you'll have completed close to half the elevation half way into your run will result in a good amount of lovely downhill after that! There will be plenty of marshal out on the course, 2 fully stocked feed stations to fuel your run & plentiful signage to keep you on track too!
There are great awards for the top 3 male and female runners and an epicly big medal for all of our runners!
We look forward to seeing you at the event and can’t wait for you to experience this amazing trail route!!
