Event Details
The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run takes place on May 10, 2026. The event offers two distances: a 10k and a half marathon. The half marathon waves start at 08:30, and the 10k waves start at 10:40. Entry is open to participants aged 15 and over for the 10k, and 17 and over for the half marathon.
The Course
The course is known for being relatively flat. It passes landmarks in Bristol, including rivers, green spaces, and urban sights like Castle Park. For 2026, the route for both distances will be run in reverse compared to recent years. The start is on Rupert Street and the finish is on Anchor Road.
