The series of one mile races has been organised by Bristol City Council and Reebok in association with Bristol & West Athletic Club. This is the 5th year that the Mile races will take place on the paved walkways around College Green. Whilst runners are not required to raise money in order to participate; it is hoped that most we either raise money for some of the 3 official charities, or for a charity of their choice.

The 3 official charities are:

Children's Hospices

UK Children's Hospices UK is the national charity that gives voice and support to all children's hospice services. www.childhospice.org.uk

St Peter's Hospice

St. Peter's Hospice is Bristol's only hospice caring for people with incurable illnesses, usually cancer, as well as supporting their families and children. www.stpetershospice.org.uk

COCO
