Midsomer Norton Town Park 5k Run 2026

The Midsomer Norton Town Park 5k Run is a free, timed community 5k held in Midsomer Norton Town Park at 09:00 on the first Saturday of each month. It begins at the Somer Centre and is organised by Welton Church Runners, with support from Midsomer Norton Town Council. Registration is handled through Race Nation, and the event welcomes both runners and walkers. The field is broad: club runners, local regulars, first-timers, and people walking the 5k all share the same morning. The sharp end is still competitive, with course records of 18:57 for men and 21:08 for women, both set by local Somer AC runners. After the finish, the event maintains its community feel with free tea and cakes.
