Taunton Flyer

The Taunton Flyer will be taking place from Smeatharpe Airfield near Honiton. The event is themed around the wartime airfields of East Devon and Somerset, with routes that pass RAF Exeter (Exeter Airport), RAF Dunkeswell, RAF Upottery (Smeatharpe) RAF Culmhead, RAF Merryfield, and RAF Westonzoyland.

This popular early season sportive offers a mixture of open, flowing, flat roads combined with a couple of testing climbs in the Blackdown Hills (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The Taunton Flyer offers you a choice of three routes; the Spitfire (37 miles), the Dakota (63 miles) or the Wellington (101 miles). All routes are fully signed and supported with quality feed stations, outriders, mechanics and medics.

The Sportive includes electronic chip timing providing you with an official completion time, plus a finishers medal.

Challenge yourself whilst supporting more deaf people to leave loneliness behind and reconnect with life!
