Welcome to the first Bristol 10k
The Bristol 10k is set to take place on Bank Holiday Monday 5th May 2008.
Up to 15,000 runners are invited to take part and like its big brother – the Bristol Half Marathon, the race is expected to fill up quickly.
The race route will be similar to the Reebok Bristol Half Marathon course, along car-free roads, starting from At Bristol, following the harbourside then along the Avon Gorge and Cumberland Road returning to At Bristol via Prince Street Bridge and will be a great opportunity for runners to experience a short version of the half marathon course.
Race details, advice, training schedules and regular updates will be available on the race website.
Official race charities for the first Bristol 10km run will be Penny Brohn Cancer Care and the Association of Children’s Hospices – more details about their work can be found on the charity page.
Entry to the Bristol 10km race is easy – enter on-line by following the link at the top of this page.
Legendary athlete Nick Rose to champion the Bristol 10k
The great Bristol athlete and schoolteacher Nick Rose will be actively supporting the first ever Bristol 10k. Nick recently opened the Bristol specialist running shop Up & Running and has also agreed for the shop to be an official sponsor of the event.
Nick holds the UK all time 10k road record with a very swift 27 mins 34 sec. Rose, who benefited from an American scholarship, set his national best on the roads of New Orleans no less than 24 years ago and his time still stands – a real tribute to the quality of the Bristol Olympian’s record. Interestingly Rose’s track time was just 3 sec swifter than his road performance.
