One of the UK's leading road races, now one of the largest and most popular half marathons in the country growing from 1,000 runners in 1989 to 15,000 places which now fill within weeks of the race launch. 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
