Event overview
The Moonlit Meadow Run utilises the fantastic areas of Longrun Meadow, Silk Mills and French Weir Park to deliver a traffic-free course that is just a 10-minute walk from Taunton Town centre.
This course is flat, making it perfect for the trail PB hunter and new runner alike. Meander your way around the meadow and through the beautiful Willow Cathedral as you make your way around the course, all under the light of the moon!
