Entries are open to runners aged 15 and over for the 10k and 17 and over for the half marathon. The start and finish are on Anchor Road. Saver and standard entry prices are shown for each distance: 10k saver £37, standard £42; half marathon saver £47, standard £52.

Course, logistics and services

The route is described as relatively flat and runs past Bristol rivers, green spaces, urban landmarks and Castle Park, with graffiti murals along parts of the course. There will be a rolling programme of road closures starting from Anchor Road and on the remainder of the route; roads will be reopened in phases and all should be reopened by 5pm. Baggage buses are located near the start at the Lloyds Amphitheatre.

Race numbers include a timing chip and are posted 1-2 weeks before the event; late or overseas entries after 2 May must collect numbers at the information point. Waves are allocated by estimated time; runners may move to a slower wave by assembling with it but cannot move to a faster wave. The event uses a free event day tracking app, provides official photos and results via the app, and issues a finisher medal, optional finishers t-shirt, and a finisher’s bag. The British Heart Foundation is listed as the official charity for the series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
