Organiser's Description

Join us for an awesome run setting off from Kilve Court heading up onto the Quantock Hills - A stunning area of outstanding natural beauty!!

Working closely with the Quantocks AONB service, Natural England and The National Trust we have put together an epic half marathon which take on some challenging hills, technical trails through beautiful forests, quiet country lanes and vast open moorland.

Along the route expect stiles, gates, uneven rugged terrain, stream crossings (stepping stones/log balances might be involved) which will all add to the experince of a fun and exciting trail run!

The route are both technically challenging and hilly so we will aim to provide great fueling/water stations with something for everyone, helping you get to the finish line where you will be rewarded with an epic wooden medal & other goodies!

We look forward to seeing you at the event and can’t wait for you to experience this amazing trail route!!

Overnight Camping & Heated shared cabins...

For the first time we are offering you the option to stay the night before the event.. You can either camp, have an entire bunk house for 5 people or share one of the bunk houses. The heated cabins/bunk houses are very basic, with a simple single bed/bunk bed so you will need to provide your own sleeping bag/duvet/pillow ect. There are simply a dry place to sleep the day before the event as an alternative to camping or expensive local accomdation.

If you select the option to share a cabin these will be mixed and with different people, a great way to meet new people who no doubt share some of the same interests! If you have a group of people you want to stay with, please let me know in advance or select the entire bunk house option when booking.

If you decide to stay over, here is some Information you need to know...
1 FREE Beer/Cider/Soft drink for everyone who stays over!
Fantastic local pub - 'The Hood Arms' 2 minutes away for GREAT food!
Weather depending... Outdoor fire pit & marshmellows !!
Food on site provided by the awesome 'Irie no7' on Saturday night and all day Sunday
Depending on numbers we may offer Woodfired Pizzaaaa's
Check in from 12PM Saturday 5th, Check out by 3PM Sunday 6th
Basic showers / Toilets
Wifi, although unsure how good and lets be honest... you're here to enjoy the great outdoors!

Great vibes ahead of the event on Sunday!

Awesome event.. Fantastic route, well marked and an excellent challenge. Easy registration, great atmosphere and perfect weather too. Will potentially be back next year.

Excellent race, well organised with marshalls and marked route. Hard, hilly course with lots of interesting sections, my only regret was that I wasn't a bit fitter to do it justice.

This event was excellent from start (the night before) to finish. Alex’s comms before were really good. I stayed overnight in a shared bunk house, basic but totally suitable. The trail half was tough but stunning. Being able to shower after (because I'd stayed overnight) was a really treat. All event crew and fellow runners were super friendly. The food provision. (before/during/after) was great. Alex nailed this event. I’d happily do it again. I'd happily do any Prosper Event - they did more, went further and aimed higher than other event organisers.

Great race - very well organised, clear signage, regular Marshall points, and well stocked feed stations. Friendly atmosphere at race hq. We used the overnight bunk house accommodation basic as expected but comfortable. Def going to look at future events organised by Prosper.
