Great Bristol Run reveals TV stars supporting brand new Junior and Mini event 2025

Toby Olubi (aka Phantom) and co-star Zack George (aka Steel) will officially start the May 10 event.

Billed ‘Super Saturday’, the Junior & Mini Run will put a spotlight on younger runners.

The Minis (aged 3 to 8 year old) will enjoy a 1.5m dash, whilst Juniors (aged 8-15) will take on their own 2.5k challenge.

Toby Olubi said: “We’re buzzing to be part of the AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Bristol Run!

“Getting kids moving and having fun is right at the heart of what we’re all about.

“We can’t wait to cheer on all the young superstars taking on the challenge – and if you haven’t signed up yet… come on, what are you waiting for?!”

Helen Haskell, Head of Fundraising at Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, said: “The Grand Appeal is incredibly proud to partner with the Junior & Mini Great Bristol Run.

“Every step taken by our incredible runners helps support sick children and their families at Bristol Children’s Hospital.

“Their strength and spirit capture exactly what this event is all about.”
