Route and distances
The route follows the original train line from Green Park Station in Bath to Bristol Temple Meads. The course is 100% tarmac and runs through green countryside into the centre of Bristol. The original railway operated from 1869 to 1971. Between 1979 and 1986 Sustrans converted the railway path into what became the first route on the National Cycle Network. The Half Marathon is an out-and-back to Bitton Train Station, with about 2.5 km in each direction alongside the Avon Valley Railway, which still operates as a heritage line. The 25 km, Marathon and 50 km routes run past the Avon Valley Railway station at Bitton and continue toward Bristol, passing restored signal boxes and stations at Warmley and Mangotsfield.
