Really enjoyed this event
The toilets were clean and quick to access without long queues.
The registration was easy
Water points and gels available was great
I don’t use the beg drop so can’t comment but great that it was available for those that needed it.
Information on parking was useful.
Pelts of water stations available.
I found the water station by the small bridge was probably not in the best place. It was extremely congested with cars trying to squeeze through and overtake runners. That was my only negative.
Other than that, it was a great event with great atmosphere and the medal
was classy and definitely one I’d want to display.
Thank you
Wendy Cruickshank
Very well organised
Matt Eva
My first half marathon and it was brilliant
An incredible amount of work must go in to organising everything- thank you so much to the 3 guys that led the team, and to the many volunteers that gave up their time to make it all happen. What a brilliant event!
Anthony Bennett
It's only a hill, get over it!
If I was being picky, the recycling bins were too close to the water stations giving you little time to drink.
Romain Lacombe
Amazing, i enjoyed all way through
Henry Beckley
Great HM in the countryside
Starting funnel could be better organised with pace makers already there.
Magdalena Lesniak

Jennette Hull
Excellent - well organised from booking right through to finishing the event
Very impressed with how well it was organised, more hilly bits than expected but a good route covering a fair bit of Taunton!
Sonia Beaty
Super event, I cannot fault a thing
The pre event communication was excellent. Registration ran smoothly, plenty of toilets. Loads of enthusiastic supportive marshalls. Just a brilliant event to be involved in (even when I don't like roads)
Will Perry
Amazing return event. Great atmosphere, good organisation, roads felt safe, brilliant coinciding with the market.
That last hill could be flattened

Siobhan Gallagher
This was a great really well organised event.
There were a couple of times coming through Bradford on Tone that the traffic got a bit hairy.. otherwise it was excellent and the Marshall’s were incredible.
Chris White
Great event that could put Taunton on the Half Marathon map
Kelly Wright
The communication prior to the even was brilliant and the whole atmosphere was great. Registration the day before was swift and really well organised. Will book for next year.
Both children really enjoyed the kilometre run. There was confusion before the race as to where the start was but once that was set up everything was fine. Sadly there was an issue with my daughter's chip time, her race number has someone else's name next to it and her name is against a different number on the results which doesn't show a time. But nevermind, a small thing in the big scheme of the day!
Craig Moore
Absolutely brilliant, massive thank you to the organisers who did a fantastic job.
Benjamin Kluth
Really well organised with a great atmosphere, so good to have a hometown event again
What a fantastic atmosphere
The crowd support, marshals and organisation was perfect, the drumming band seeing us out and welcoming us in on the finish was so brilliant! The hills were savage! But this was an epic event, Thankyou so much
Sheena Coombes
Was a very good event
Only thing I would say is an issue drivers speeding as they went past
