Earn the party and join us for the 3rd edition of the world’s first running and cider festival!

Included with each ticket.

A unique finishers medal
A t-shirt
12 cider tasters for the Half Marathon, 2 for the 5K

Both distances start and finish at Sheppy’s Cider in Taunton and will take place predominantly on closed roads with some short grass/trail sections. The Ciderthon Village, including bars, music and more, will remain open to all throughout the event!

This is NOT a timed event so participants should not expect to receive a result on completion of their respective category. Extra caution is recommended due to the challenges associated with running whilst consuming alcohol.

10% discount on each ticket is available for groups of 5 or more into either of the Half Marathon or 5K categories.

Further details will be communicated by email in the week leading up to the event.

Entry on the Day will not be available at this event. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
