Knights Brown has been announced as an Official Partner of the 2026 Torbay Half Marathon & 10K, working alongside event organisers Taurus Events Ltd to demonstrate its commitment to supporting the local community while delivering one of Torbay’s most significant regeneration projects.
The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared ambition to invest in the future of the English Riviera, supporting initiatives that promote health and wellbeing, encourage visitors to the area and deliver lasting economic benefits for the Bay.
Knights Brown is currently delivering the Paignton and Preston Waterfront Flood Protection Scheme on behalf of Torbay Council. The multi-million-pound project will protect homes, businesses and public spaces from the impacts of climate change while creating improved public areas that will benefit residents and visitors for generations to come. Throughout the project, Knights Brown has committed to working closely with the local community, minimising disruption where possible and supporting the local economy as work progresses.
By becoming an Official Partner of the Torbay Half Marathon & 10K, Knights Brown is extending that commitment beyond construction, supporting an event that attracts thousands of participants and spectators to the English Riviera while encouraging people of all ages and abilities to lead healthier, more active lifestyles.
Suzi Cumberland, Managing Director of Taurus Events Ltd, said:
“As the Torbay Half Marathon & 10K continues to grow, we’re focused on the strategic development of the event through strong partnerships with organisations that want to make a positive contribution to the communities in which we deliver our events. We’re pleased to welcome Knights Brown as an Official Partner and appreciate their support as we continue to enhance the participant experience, strengthen the event’s impact and create lasting benefits for the local area.”
Catherine Bennett, Knights Brown, said:
“Our work on the Paignton and Preston Waterfront scheme is about more than delivering vital coastal infrastructure. It’s about helping to create a stronger, more resilient future for Torbay while supporting the communities that make the Bay such a special place.
“Becoming an Official Partner of the Torbay Half Marathon & 10K reflects our commitment to being an active part of the local community. The event celebrates health, wellbeing and community spirit while bringing visitors into Torbay and supporting the local economy, values that closely align with our own. We’re proud to support the event and look forward to being part of race day.”
The 2026 Torbay Half Marathon & 10K takes place on Sunday 20 September, welcoming thousands of runners to experience one of the UK’s most picturesque coastal road races.
