Welcome to the 2009 Bristol 10k
The 2009 Bristol 10k took place on Sunday 10 May and attracted entries from nearly 8,000 runners – an over 50% increase in entries from 2008 when the race was first launched by organisers Bristol City Council
This year St Peter’s Hospice and COCO are the nominated charities for the Bristol 10K. For more information about running on their behalf please go to the charity page.
The race route is similar to the 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 is 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 this site.

Entries for the 2010 Bristol 10k will be launched in the autumn after the 2009 Bristol Half Marathon.
2008 Bristol 10k
The first Bristol 10k took place in May 2008 and attracted entries from 5000 runners. Jean Ndayasenga was overall winner (29:09, Burundi/Birchfield). British athletes included Phil Nicholls (29:36, Tipton Harriers), Wendy Nicholls (34:08, Cirencester) Louise Damen (34:09, Winchester & District) and Claire Martin (34:15, Telford).
Nick Rose
The great Bristol athlete and schoolteacher Nick Rose holds the UK all time 10k road record with a very swift 27 mins 34 sec. Nick is a great supporter of the Bristol 10k – although we have yet to persuade him to run in it !
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.
