Organiser's Description
We will process a refund of entry fees to our runners and will be in touch with them by email. You can also view our FAQ page for more information.
Many of you would have been taking on this challenge for charity; your donation is still important to them, possibly even more so at this time. We know that the event day is only part of your the challenge and you’ve probably put in many miles towards your training already. We encourage you to recognise all the hard work you have already put in, celebrate what you have achieved so far and consider still passing on the money you have raised your chosen charity.
Thank you for your patience and continued support at this challenging time.
Location
Anchor Road, Bristol, BS1 5DB
If ever there was a city with a story to tell, it’s Bristol. Enveloped in the hills of South West England, it has a distinctive identity that outrivals anywhere else. Grounded in roots from centuries past, passionate locals and spirited fans have helped carve out its character ever since.
It’s not hard to see why writers, film directors, artists, actors, scientists, musicians and architects have sought inspiration here.
Famed for its passionate character and its maritime history, and for the acres of parkland and sustainable approach that earned it European Green Capital status, Bristol has created its own distinctive identity.
Year-round festivals, award-winning cycle tracks, gastronomy of every flavour in rejuvenated warehouses and behind secret doorways, stunning cityscapes and awe-inspiring street art, Bristol doesn’t just buzz, it thumps.
Compact enough to get around on foot, yet big enough to boast an exciting line-up of entertainment, Bristol has much to offer.
