Excellent communication pre-race
Easy and quick registration
Marshalls and volunteers were incredible! Perfect aid stations
Fantastic support all throughout the course. The atmosphere is what I will remember, an amazing community feel. It felt like Taunton had been revived, such a feel good feeling in the air.
Huge credit to the organisers for restoring the event to support the town, its businesses, the community and making it bigger and better. I was happy to just do it once but the atmosphere was so excellent I’ll definitely sign up again - thank you!

Marshalls were so encouraging and entertaining .
The communication pre event was superb and very clear .
I have ran two previous THM my first 16 years ago and by far this was so much more enjoyable and more people watching which was great to see .
What would I change those HILLS !! but the old route also had hills so ....
Brilliant work from your team Dan give them all a pay rise !! booking for next year if my knees recover which I am sure they will .

Advertised warm up didn’t happen.
Gun time and chip time were the same but I started well behind the start line.
Traffic on narrow bridge at Bradford on Tone meant I had to queue to get over the bridge.
Netherclay should have been closed to through traffic (albeit open for residents).

Excellent race and was not a runner the last time this race was run so great to be a part of it. Great stewards who had an endless supply of sweets

The atmosphere was great with loads of people there to cheer us on which made it so nice! I’d say it was so well-organised and worked amazingly with the independent markets. Already signed up for next year and cannot wait!

Great race. Route fine. A little busy with traffic in places. Good location for the drop off, registration and start. Very good atmosphere.

Great organization!

One of the best running events I’ve been to for a long time. Easy parking near Start, registration well organised and calm (when I was there: 9.00-9.15). Great race village, no queue for the portaloos (unheard of!) Event was clearly well publicised as the support in the villages and in Taunton was great. Just a couple of things:-
1. The start got very congested (I was about 30 metres behind the start line); I couldn’t see whether there was a problem with lack of space further back causing compression but I think for anyone on the claustrophobia spectrum it could have been uncomfortable. Definitely something to think about if you’re considering increasing the entries for next year.
2. As of today the chip times don’t seem to be available. It only took me around 25 seconds to get through the start but someone starting way back and having a good run might be disappointed that the gun time is showing but not the chip time. (You may be working on this).
Otherwise full marks! Well done to everyone involved.

Well what a super, well organised event this was. So glad the weather held out for everyone, the organisers, marshalls (amazing as always), stall holders, the spectators but most of all for the runners!! So much support from the whole town and even in more rural areas. Vibes were great, especially from the Samba Band. Thank you everyone!!

The start would gave been better if less congested and almost impossible to find and stand near the racer I wanted to. That said, an excellent event, thank you.

Lovely to see three race organisers from different companies come together and put on such a great race.

Great friendliness and encouragement from the course marshalls. Particularly thought the course 1/2/3 hour pace makers a great idea. The 3 hr pace maker was marvellous and kept me going at this pace which is what I wanted to do. Thank him and everyone. Great day

Fantastic half marathon! Loved every minute. Great support and aid stations throughout, fantastic marshalling also. Only thing I would say is the aid station at Bradford-on-Tone was very busy with traffic either way as well as the station. Also the start pen was very cramped but that all improved as soon as we started and funnelled out. Overall it was fantastic and I can't wait for next year !

Very well organised, with a brilliant route around the town and with great crowds at the finishing line.
