Bath Skyline 5km & 10km
Events take place on 14 and 15 November 2026 around the Bath Skyline, starting from the West Car Park at the University of Bath (BA2 7AY, what3words radio.boom.tooth). The programme includes night and day races with separate canicross waves during the day. Races are set off in waves of about 100 runners and there are no course cut offs; pure walkers are not permitted but mixed run, jog and walk participation is allowed.
Distances
- 500 m kids run (day races)
- 5 km run
- 10 km run and canicross options
Routes use a mix of solid stone paths, woodland trails and open grass meadows. Expect puddles and muddy sections; courses are largely flat with a few small rises and falls. Night routes are marked with glow sticks and reflective signs and runners must provide their own head torch. The 5 km has no drinks station; the 10 km includes one drinks station. All finishers of 5 km and longer receive a two-sided 10 cm x 10 cm event medal. Minimum ages are 12 for 5 km and 14 for 10 km.
On-site facilities include toilets, a coffee van and bag drop; there are no changing rooms. Parking is free for night race runners from 17:00; day parking costs £3 and payment is via the Just Park app. Professional photos are available to purchase after the event. Prize awards vary by finish numbers and include age-category recognitions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
