Bath & Bristol Railway Race
The Bath & Bristol Railway Race takes place along the railway path connecting the cities of Bath and Bristol. The event features a variety of distances held on a flat, out-and-back course primarily consisting of tarmac. Runners follow a route that is officially measured and certified. While most distances return to the starting point, the 25 km option is a point-to-point race beginning in Bath and finishing in Bristol.
Available distances include:
- 2 km (No age minimum)
- 5 km (Minimum age 12)
- 10 km (Minimum age 16)
- Half Marathon (Minimum age 17)
- 25 km (Point-to-point)
- Marathon (Minimum age 18)
- 50 km (Minimum age 20)
The event base is located at Green Park in Bath. For those participating in the 25 km race, a bag transfer service to the finish line in Bristol is provided. The start line is located approximately 800 meters from Bath Spa train station, and the Bristol finish line is 500 meters from Bristol Temple Meads station.
Participants receive a finisher's medal and have access to drink stations, first aid, fresh fruit, and snacks. Results are recorded via a timing system. Prizes are awarded to top finishers across various age categories, provided the number of participants in the distance meets specific thresholds. The path remains open to non-runners during the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
