Longrun Meadow parkrun

The course

The course is 5k long. The course is in Longrun Meadow, Taunton. The course is run on a mixture of compacted hoggin / grit paths and grass. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.

Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.

Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.

What people say

“Ran on a hot day, so no puddles. Not much shade around the course. Lovely field and was really very flat. 2-lap, mostly gravel path which did become quite dusty in busy sections and at times is quite a narrow pathway…”James Beeley · 4 stars

“Super event. Lovely 2 lap course. Great turnout on Xmas Day. Just remember to take spare trainers as it can get muddy.”Mo Ahmed · 5 stars
