Runners get ready as the ever-popular Great Bristol run is returning this weekend.

The annual Great Bristol Run event will see Bristol city centre transformed into a race track on Sunday (May 14) as it prepares to host three separate races for athletes of all abilities.

Whether you are taking part in the family-run, The Bristol 10k or the most gruelling of them all - The Bristol Half Marathon - each race will feature some breathtaking views of the city’s most well-known landmarks including the city’s Avon Gorge and Clifton Suspension Bridge.

All three races will take off from the heart of Bristol City Centre located at the following postcode: BS1 4SS

We have listed the routes for each of them:

The Family Run

Also known as ‘The Family Mile, The Family Run is a child-friendly one-mile experience, with kids receiving a medal that they can show off to friends and family, as well as some edible treats, spot prizes and fancy dress for when they pass the finish.

Budding athletes will take off from Anchor Road, pass St .Augustine’s Parade, follow the road round onto Christmas street and hit the finish line at Millenium Square.
