Moonlit Meadow Run Rescheduled 2026

The Moonlit Meadow Run is a night trail race in Taunton, Somerset, offering 5K and 10K distances. It crosses Longrun Meadow, Silk Mills, and French Weir Park, commencing from a point roughly ten minutes' walk from Taunton town centre. This event originated the Dark Skies Series, comprising three night trail races throughout Somerset, and has received double gold awards. The 5K course is traffic-free. The 10K consists of two circuits of the same flat route. Participants will run around the meadow and pass the Willow Cathedral, with moonlight potentially enhancing the run when conditions permit. Its flat terrain is suitable for novice runners and those aiming for a trail personal best, not exclusively for seasoned off-road athletes.
