The Runaway Train celebrates the Windsor Hill railway path, with a rugged trail race and a feast in Shepton Mallet market place.
NEW for this year, there is now a choice of three routes of 3 miles, 6 miles and 8½ miles, which are all super scenic, taking in woods, valleys, distant hills, dark tunnels and high viaducts, finishing right in the heart of Shepton Mallet.
Walkers and families may also take part, either with an early start on the full runner’s route or a shorter version to Ham Woods and back.
Everyone then comes together in Shepton Mallet market place for a lunch-time boxty feast.
