Our annual Torrington Round the Tree Race, which is part of the Torrington Mayfair Celebrations, is a challenging and scenic 2.75 mile run from Torrington Square, down through Torrington Commons and into Taddiport. Once you've reached the tree there's a relatively flat section back along the river path with a tough climb back into the town.
We welcome runners of all abilities to take part in a piece of Torrington tradition, either as a runner or spectator, please join us in keeping this event as strong as ever.
Please run with care and respect at all times.
TAAC thanks Nigel & Diana of Oak Park Farm for their support in encouraging us to keep this traditional Torrington race alive by allowing access to the tree. We also thank our sponsors Slee Blackwell Solicitors, WMS and CMTG.
