We are delighted to confirm that the "Baltonsborough Five" in August now forms part of both:

​

• the "Somerset Series" - more details on this competition can be found here; and

​

• Somerset County Athletic Association's County Championship - more details on this competition can be found here.

​

Somerset's annual Baltonsborough Five Mile Road Race will next take place at 11 a.m. on Monday 25 August 2025 (Bank Holiday Monday).

 

Immediately after the main five mile race has started, the annual combined 1.5 mile fun run and 1.5 mile junior race will be held at 11.10 a.m. on Monday 25 August 2025.

 

After the races, the annual Baltonsborough Show takes place. This will include a children's "Rainbow Run" at 4 p.m., during which participants will be showered with powder paint at various points along the course. 

 

On Sunday 21 December 2025 we shall again be holding Baltonsborough's charity "Christmas Pudding" race over the same course as the Five Mile Road Race. All profits raised will go to charity, and all participants (who are encouraged to wear fancy dress) will receive a Christmas pudding.
