Starting at 18:00

Organiser's Description

Recognised as one of the Top 50 races in the country by Runners World:

"Hilly, narrow and technical underfoot, this is one of those races where you should be taking in the splendid scenery but will probably be too busy trying not to take a tumble on the way round!"

The University of Bath plays host to this event, their facilities being home to the British Paralympic Team, Bath Rugby and a huge host of other international athletes.

The final number of prizes awarded is determined by the number of finishers for each gender in a given race distance. If there are more than 100 finishers then the full range range of awards are made as shown above. If there are between 50-100 finishers then the top 3 finishers overall will be awarded a prize. If there are less than 50 then only the winner will be awarded a prize. We do not have any winner's prizes for any of the children's events as would like to keep this participation focused.

There is no on the day prize giving because of the multi wave, multi start time format of the events. Prize winners will be contacted mid week via email.

I took part in the night run and I would urge caution. Consider carefully taking part if it has been raining. Incredibly slippery and muddy underfoot and there were plenty of spills. If you want to take part then enter the daytime run. This wasn’t what I anticipated and I accept I should have researched it better. I completed the event but there were quite a few who didn’t. The finishing times were logged manually about 25 metres beyond the finishing line so keep running.

My first 10k! Tough, muddy, picturesque! I may have been last but it was a brilliant experience! Big thanks to Terri, the sweep, who made sure I finished! Get off the couch and do it!

Everything was well organised - the pre-race admin, car parking, facilities at the start/finish area, race briefing, marshalling, course marking, post-race goodies and a nice medal! My only slight gripe is that, according to my Garmin watch, the 10K course measured 9.69K, so it didn't actually register as a 10K run! But overall, it was a good experience, and an enjoyable challenge.
