📣 SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

We are honoured to announce that JOMA will be sponsoring Taunton Half Marathon again in 2027 - they are one of the leading European brands for sportswear and you may have seen their logo multiple times as a backdrop for a Keely Hodgkinson interview a while back if you follow athletics 😁

Lily from Joma says:- “We’re delighted to announce that Joma will once again be supporting the Taunton Half Marathon in 2027, continuing the partnership for another exciting year.

As a global sports brand with strong heritage in running, Joma supports athletes at every level - from everyday runners and local communities, through to elite athletes competing on the international stage.

For 2027, Joma will once again provide a bespoke technical race shirt with a unique design inspired by Taunton and the local area (these are offered at a heavily discounted rate due to the sponsorship) giving participants something special to wear with pride long after crossing the finish line.

The partnership reflects Joma’s continued commitment to supporting running in the UK and being part of events that bring people together through sport.”

Joma are also supplying the event crew with t-shirts for marshalling duties so they are easily identifiable on the day, and they are a supplier for Somerset County Sports in Taunton - be sure to visit if you’re in the area

A REMINDER....

If you log into your booking using the link in your confirmation email (we can re-send the email if you don't have it but it should come up if you search 'Active South West' or 'Taunton Half Marathon 2027') then you can still add a t-shirt to your booking if you've not yet ordered one and would like to. There is a size chart, further information and more images on the order page

You can also add an i-tab memento to your booking, which will have personalised information concerning your race and can be attached to the back of your medal or wherever you choose to display it

The t-shirts MUST be ordered by the last day of November, as this is the cut-off for when we need to send final quantities etc. to the supplier in order to get them in time for race day

Might not seem like the best day to be talking about t-shirts when it's not really t-shirt weather out there but the light drizzle and cool temperature today would be perfect for running a race in!

Two very different but both totally awesome half marathons took place in Somerset today, which plenty of you no doubt ran between you

Weston Super Half was on in the north of the county and Quantock Trail Half by Prosper Events was closer to our home turf!

Did you run either of these fabulous events today? We’d love to hear about it 😀

“Activate Fitness 24/7 provides a safe, welcoming and down to earth community vibe gym. We are all about supporting and encouraging our members to feel valued individually instead of just a number.

Tom ran superbly at the race this year as well as others who were representing Activate Fitness. It’s fantastic to partner with an organisation who have a similar passion for active pursuits as us.

So… 1st October!!!! 🍂

Can anyone believe it???

Autumnal running can be a true delight - the stunning colours of the autumn leaves, the fallen leaves that crunch under your feet, the cool temperatures that lend themselves to long days out on the trail or faster efforts on the road…

What are your running plans for the autumn season?…..

SPECIAL POST TODAY

We love to hear the reasons why this race means something to you on a personal level, and today we feature the incredible story of Rhian Mannings, who will be on the start line in 2027:-

In 2012, Rhian Mannings experienced unimaginable loss when her one-year-old son, George, died suddenly, and just five days later her husband, Paul Burke, also passed away. Rhian went on to establish 2wish to ensure that no family facing the sudden and unexpected death of a child would ever have to feel alone. Since then, 2wish has grown into an organisation supporting thousands of people, with its support now extending into Somerset.

Rhian says:- “Taunton has a particularly special meaning for me, as it is where I first met Paul while I was teaching at Queen’s College, where Paul had been a pupil. In his memory, a team of 10 will be taking on the Taunton Half Marathon, bringing together Paul’s school friends, Queen’s College staff, and members of his family. It will be an incredibly special and emotional day, celebrating Paul’s memory while raising awareness and support for a cause born from the most heartbreaking circumstances. To learn more about 2wish and the difference it makes, visit www.2wish.org.uk”

We wish Rhian and the team a fantastic race when the day comes round. It’s so inspiring when people can bring something positive following unimaginable pain.

📣 SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

We are delighted to confirm that Injury Armour will be continuing their support as a secondary sponsor for Taunton Half Marathon in 2027:-

Injury Armour Physiotherapy is delighted to once again support the Taunton Half Marathon, continuing its commitment to promoting health, fitness and participation in physical activity across the local community.

The event brings together runners of all abilities from across Somerset and the wider South West, from experienced competitors chasing personal bests to those taking on the half marathon distance for the first time.

“As a performance-focused physiotherapy clinic, our aim is to help people stay active, recover well from injury and perform at their best,” said Adam Rutter, Director and Lead Physiotherapist at Injury Armour Physiotherapy.

“The Taunton Half Marathon represents so much of what we believe in as a business. It encourages people to challenge themselves, get active and be part of a brilliant local event. We’re really proud to be supporting it again this year, and we’ll also be trying to get as many of the Injury Armour team and our clients across the finish line as possible.”

Injury Armour Physiotherapy provides a wide range of services including physiotherapy, injury rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, performance testing and screening.

The Injury Armour team will be involved around the event, providing runners with access to expert advice and support around training, injury management, recovery and performance.

Adam added:
“We see runners every week who are working towards challenges like the Taunton Half Marathon. Some are looking to run faster, some are returning from injury and others simply want to complete the distance feeling strong.

“Our role is not just to treat injuries when something goes wrong. We want to help people build the strength, capacity and confidence they need to keep doing the activities they enjoy.”

As part of its involvement with the Taunton Half Marathon, Injury Armour will also be supporting runners in the build-up to the event with education, advice and opportunities to access the clinic’s physiotherapy and performance services.

“We’re really looking forward to race day,” Adam continued. “There’s always a fantastic atmosphere around the event and it’s great to see so many people from the local community getting involved. Whether someone is chasing a PB or completing their first half marathon, we’ll be there supporting them.”
