Wellington Monument 10k

Taunton Athletic Club are once again pleased to be hosting the Wellington Monument Race, after a break last year. The race is just over 10k, at 6.27 miles (10090 metres).

NEW for this year – chip timing!

Starting at 10:00 hrs from the Catherine Wheel pub in Hemyock village square, the route then climbs to and circles the Wellington Monument, returning along the same road to finish at the local village primary school. One mile of firm stone track, a steep ascent and descent of approximately ½ mile form part of this undulating, hilly, scenic and rural course. Unfortunately the hilly route makes this race unsuitable for wheelchairs.

The Wellington Monument (location) forms the half way point of the race, before returning to the finish at Hemyock Primary School where a finisher award, mulled wine and mince pie will be waiting for all runners.

A good range of refreshments will be available both before and after the race. Changing areas and toilets are available but sorry there are no shower facilities.

1st, 2nd and 3rd placed Male finishers; 1st 2nd and 3rd Female finishers overall,
