AJ Bell Great Bristol Run : 10 May 2026
The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run takes place in Bristol on 10 May 2026. The event offers two distances:
- 10k
- Half marathon
Both races start and finish on Anchor Road. Entries are open to runners aged 15+ for the 10k and 17+ for the half marathon on the day. Waves are allocated by estimated time; runners may join a slower wave but cannot move to a faster wave.
Course, services and charity
The route is described as relatively flat and runs past Bristol rivers, green spaces, urban landmarks including Castle Park, and areas with graffiti murals. A rolling programme of road closures will be in place on event day with phased reopening once sections are clear.
Organisers provide a range of event services: baggage buses near the start, race numbers with timing chips (mailed 1-2 weeks before the event or available for collection for late entries), official event-day photos, and an event tracking app for live tracking and results. Finishers receive a medal, a finishers t-shirt (optional), and a finisher’s bag; runners who forgo the tee enable a donation to the National Trust Woodlands Appeal. Free 10k and half marathon training plans are available, and the event lists multiple charity partners including Alzheimer’s Society and Cancer Research UK.
