Entries open on the 01/05/2019 and is the 3rd event hosted by Thornbury Running Club.
We have staged it 2 weeks before the Bristol half marathon to give you an ideal pre-half training run and please be aware the race has sold out for the last 2 years.
The accurately measured course is on a quiet figure of 8 course on the outskirts of Thornbury where you will be well looked after by Thornbury Running Club’s friendly and encouraging marshals.
Race HQ is at Oldbury Power Station (BS35 1RQ).
We have been given permission for onsite parking in the large on-site car park. Special instructions will be issued closer to event time, but should there be any safety issues we will revert back to the field.
- Entries will be available through Full on Sport website only.
