(1)About Running in Somerset on Verus
Verus tracks 7 races across Somerset at 5 different distances — 3 ultra marathons, 1 marathon, 1 10K, 1 5K and 1 half marathon. Few counties give you that much choice of what to actually run.
Racing in Somerset comes in clusters rather than a steady drip: 5 months carry a date, and April carries the most of them. Plan a build around that shape rather than assuming something is always a few weeks out.
Somerset also has 16 parkruns running every Saturday, free to enter — the weekly habit that sits underneath the race calendar above rather than competing with it.
If nothing here fits your dates, the fullest calendars Verus covers elsewhere are London (39 races), Hertfordshire (30 races) and Kent (26 races).
