Bringing People Together Through Outdoor Events – For Health, Happiness, and Community.

Active South West is a collaboration between three local race directors with a shared passion for the benefits of outdoor activity. Initially we shared a vision of bringing the local community together through the return of Taunton Half Marathon; a popular event in the town for nearly 40 years. The future is unwritten, but it all started with a mutual respect for each other’s events and a belief that fantastic things could be achieved if we worked together. 

We are Dan Brice of Channel Events, Alex Bennett of Prosper Events and Dave Urwin of Albion Running. We are all known for our enthusiasm and passion for delivering events that put a smile on peoples’ faces. With our combined energy we believe we can make bigger races feel like the personal occasion our usual events do. Underpinning it all will be the message that getting active does wonders for both physical and mental health as well as forging meaningful friendships and shared goals.
