AJ Bell Great Bristol Run - 10 May 2026
The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run is a city road race held in Bristol on 10 May 2026. The event features two distances:
- 10k
- Half Marathon
The 2026 route will be run in reverse from recent years, giving participants a different perspective on the course. The route is described as relatively flat and passes rivers, green spaces, urban landmarks and graffiti murals. The finish is on Anchor Road.
Entries for 2026 are sold out, though a limited number of charity places remain and a priority access list is available for 2027. The event publishes a provisional timetable and an event guide with maps, travel and baggage information.
Race logistics include baggage buses near the start, race numbers that contain timing chips (usually mailed about four weeks before the event), and wave assembly based on estimated times; runners may join a slower wave but cannot move to a faster one. Official event day photos and finishers items are available; finishers receive a medal, an optional finishers t-shirt and a finisher’s bag. A free event app provides live tracking, split times and results.
Road closures operate on a rolling programme on event day and are reopened in phases, with all roads scheduled to be reopened by 18:00. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
