Bath & Bristol Railway Races
The Bath & Bristol Railway Races, held in autumn 2025, offer a unique running experience along the historic former train line from Green Park Station in Bath to Bristol Temple Meads. This flat, 100% tarmac route provides a road race feel through scenic countryside and into Bristol city. Distances range from a 2km fun run to challenging 50km solo runs, including 10km, half marathon, 25km, and marathon options.
The half marathon features an out-and-back course to Bitton Train Station, running alongside the active Avon Valley Railway heritage line. Longer distances pass restored railway landmarks and picturesque stations, blending history with sport in a family-friendly atmosphere.
