Great Bristol Run

The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run is one of the South West’s premier running events - a fun, inspiring challenge that gives charity runners the chance to take on a 10K or Half Marathon through the vibrant streets and iconic sights of Bristol while raising vital funds for your chosen cause. With routes that showcase the city’s harbourside, historic architecture, graffiti murals and stunning views over the Avon Gorge, the Great Bristol Run combines a superb race-day atmosphere with enthusiastic crowd support and music zones along the way, making it an unforgettable experience for runners of all abilities.

Charity runners enjoy dedicated support throughout their fundraising journey - from running tops and training advice to fundraising packs and encouragement every step of the way. Whether you’re joining a team to support local healthcare, research, or community services, or running in memory of someone special, your efforts help make a real difference while you push toward your personal goals on race day.
