Community Canal Run 2024

Channel Events are proud to be working in partnership with Start Running Stay Running and Taunton Running Club to bring you the fabulous Community Canal Run which is totally free to take part in!
The event will start at the YMCA in Bridgwater and by taking the tow path alongside the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal and River Tone will finish at COACH in French Weir Park, Taunton. It’s a beautifully scenic route which is all off road following the tow path for 14 miles. A shorter route of 8 miles is also available and will start from the Somerset Boat centre near Maunsel Upper Lock - you will be able to either run or walk this shorter distance. Please select the appropriate ticket when you enter!
Although it is completely free to take part, it is essential that you register so that we know how many to expect on the day and to ensure that you are insured to take part.
The run will be a fun community event so it won’t be timed, we also won’t be providing aid stations but are encouraging runners to take some money and purchase from the three cafes on route (Purple Spoon – YMCA, Somerset Boat Centre and The Weir – COACH). There will be a water station at the midway point of the 14 mile distance, this is at Maunsel Upper Lock.
It’s a great opportunity for us to support the Canal and River Trust who have kindly given their permission and waived the licence fee for this event to take place. Although there is no fee for this event, you can show your appreciation and support by donating to the Trust – every penny you donate goes directly to the Canal and River Trust. Donations can be made here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/support-us/donate
Apex Medical and Rescue have also kindly donated their time to provide medical cover should things go south, although we really don’t envisage this happening, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
So, why not come and burn off the over indulgences of the festive season and keep your running going in the right direction ahead of the new year.
