Route information

Both runs will set off from Taunton Rugby Club, joining the picturesque canal towards Taunton. You will then join the river Tone for a short loop before linking back on to the canal.

The 10K Route is roughly 50% canal paths and 50% river paths which are both very flat and has easy to navigate terrain making this a great run if it's your first 10K, you're new to trail running or you want to put in a PB time.

The Half marathon distance route is similar to the 10k but will include an extra 5K out and back along the canal heading towards Bridgewater. The course is roughly 70% canal paths and 30% river paths and is very flat.

There will be a feed station on the Half Marathon route at approximately half way. This will be stocked with all the goodies you can possibly imagine to fuel the rest of your journey.

Did the race in 2023

First time doing a running event, very well organised, great energy from lots of friendly people which got me round what I thought was a narrow and tricky course in a good time that I was happy with. Definitely recommend.

Did the race in 2023

My first Prosper Event and it was a great one. Organisation was fab and course organiser (Alex) and marshals were lovely. I’d recommend the course for first time half-marathoners or someone looking for a PB as nice & flat. Was a lovely friendly, laid back atmosphere. Everyone was smiling on what was a beautiful day. Will definitely be doing another Prosper event soon.
