Yeovil Half Marathon

Released On 14th Mar 2016

Sunday 20th March race day is fast approaching. This annual event in the Yeovil sport calendar will bring an estimated 5-6,000 people into Yeovil town centre, creating major footfall opportunities. Chamber President David Woan said: “Now that the start and finish of the race are in the town centre, I cannot stress enough how beneficial this event will now be to the retail, leisure, and food & drink businesses in town. If you are reading this, and know of a business in the town centre that could benefit from an extra 5-6,000 people on their doorstep, please tell them.”

Race director Steve Elliott said: “For 2016, to celebrate its sixth year, Yeovil Half Marathon will start and finish in Yeovil Town Centre for the first time. Runners will run on closed roads around the town centre before heading along the entire length of Yeovil Country Park. The route then leaves the town on the western side to Montacute House, before returning on quiet country roads to the Town Centre finish in the Quedam Shopping Centre.”
