Signposted from the busy A358 between Hatch Beauchamp and the traffic lights on the hill near Thornfalcon, further west. Please take care turning right into the site if approaching from the Taunton direction.
There should be amble car parking on-site right next to registration.
Please enter and leave the site very carefully as there will be runners in close proximity to the car park and entrance road.
We cater from beginners through to a good club standard. We call the courses Hare, Squirrel, Badger, and Fox and these offer a clear progression in the difficulty level. The Fox course usually incorporates adult training exercises.
All courses use PIN punching.
Please consider buying a pack of pre-entry credits in advance. This costs you the same but saves the club a lot in credit card fees.
