Castle School playing field, opposite the Castle Sports Centre, Taunton
Race for Life Taunton 5k is a charity 5-kilometre event organised by Cancer Research UK and takes place in Taunton, Somerset. The event is part of the wider Race for Life series and is designed to be inclusive and accessible to participants of varying fitness levels, with no pressure on finishing time. It supports fundraising for life-saving cancer research and welcomes individuals, groups and supporters to join the occasion. The tone is uplifting and community-focused, encouraging people to take on a 5k challenge for a charitable cause.
The 5k distance is achievable for many people and is promoted as a good first challenge for most participants, with the start and finish located on the Castle School playing field opposite the Castle Sports Centre. Event-day facilities and logistics are organised around Bridgwater & Taunton College (Wellington Road) for parking and accessible drop-off, and attendees are encouraged to bring supporters to cheer them on and enjoy a picnic afterwards. Practical guidance on arrival, blue-badge parking and cycling facilities is provided by the organiser to help participants plan their day.
