Bristol 10K
Welcome
2010 Bristol 10k
Entries are now being taken for the 2010 Bristol 10k.
The race route is similar to the Bristol half marathon and uses a car-free course, starting from At-Bristol, along the harbourside, then follows the Avon Gorge and Cumberland Road, returning to At-Bristol via Prince Street Bridge. For runners also planning to take part in the half marathon, it offers a great training opportunity to experience a short version of the course.
Race details, advice, training schedules and regular updates will be available on this site.
2010 Bristol 10k has two Official Charity partners:
St Peters Hospice and COCO. For further information see the 2010 Bristol 10k Charity page.

2009 Bristol 10k
The 2009 Bristol 10k attracted entries from nearly 8,000 runners – an over 50% increase from the previous year when the race was first launched.
The event was once again an outstanding success for some of our top British runners:
Phil Wicks (Belgrave Harriers) – described before the event by UKA national coach Bud Badaro “as the fastest man in the UK this year”, lived up to this billing with a very swift 28.54 to secure the gold medal and winners trophy sponsored by Bristol Blue Glass. Close behind was Andy Vernon (Aldershot AC) 29.00 in silver position and Jean Ndayisenga (Burundi/Birtchfield) 29.36 with bronze.
The women’s race was equally exciting – with GB international Hattie Dean (Hallamshire Harriers) taking gold with 33.40, Bristol University student Claire Hallissey gaining silver with 33.56 and Claire Martin (Telford AC) in bronze position with 34.49.
2008 Bristol 10k
The first Bristol 10k took place in May 2008 and attracted entries from 5000 runners.
British athletes triumphed in the new race – making a clean sweep of the top 3 womens prizes, with Phil Nicholls securing 2nd place in the mens race.
In a very close race Wendy Nicholls (34:08, Cirencester) beat Louise Damen (34:09, Winchester & District) and Claire Martin (34:15, Telford) in humid conditions on Bank Holiday Monday 5 May 2008. Fellow Brit Phil Nicholls (29:36, Tipton Harriers) came second to Jean Ndayasenga who was overall winner (29:09, Burundi/Birchfield) beating Zak Kihara (29:51, Kenya/Birchfield) into 3rd place.
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.
