Half Marathon Race Information

The Bristol Half Marathon is now a well-established event and its organisation runs very smoothly.

The Bristol half marathon course is shown above. 

The route is very scenic, taking in much of the Harbourside area, the Avon Gorge and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

The race will start and finish in Bristol's historic Harbourside. The scenic, sea-level route will take runners past the Harbourside, out and back along the Portway, through the stunning Avon Gorge, and pass twice under Brunel’s famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, along Cumberland Road then around the old city before returning to Anchor Road.

The course is a point-to-point loop, so lead runners will not lap slower participants. The Portway section at the beginning of the course spreads runners out early in the race. A narrow Start area and the 2 wave start are also designed to reduce congestion.

There's quite a lot of information for runners to take in, which will be sent to you in Information Packs once you've registered to enter.

But for a brief guide to information on items such as start times, the course, the runners village area, some important medical advice, dietary advice, fluid intake and what will happen if you drop out, please visit the
