Bristol Running Events Begin August, Time Out Doors Announces Schedule
Time Out Doors has published details of several races scheduled across the coming months in and around the city.
How we reported this
Bristol runners can mark several dates from early August onward after Time Out Doors published its current listings for events in the area.
The timing matters because many local participants use the summer and autumn months to build mileage on established routes before winter training begins.
Events range from short road races to longer trail challenges, with some open to families and beginners while others target experienced ultra runners.
Events Listed for Bristol and Nearby
The Bristol MoRun appears on 15 November with entry fees shown between £12 and £35. Organisers describe it as suitable for families and those trying running for the first time. The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run is listed for 9 May 2027 at fees from £36 to £57, covering both a half marathon and 10K option. A junior event under the same AJ Bell banner is set for the previous day with fees from £16 to £20.
Shorter summer options include the Bitton 5K Summer Series race on 6 August at £10 to £12 and a Great Western Runners Towpath Series race on 14 August at £12.50. Further dates cover the Black Nore 10K in late September and the Bristol Epic Trail in early October.
Time Out Doors also notes an ultra-distance event, the Summer Green Man Ultra, priced from £78 to £93 on 22 August, and the PWR Endure Ultra spanning late May 2027.
Practical Steps Before Signing Up
Participants are advised to review entry details directly on the listings site, which includes route information and any age or experience requirements for each race. General preparation pointers on the same page stress consistent sleep, lower-intensity training sessions, natural food choices and time spent outdoors to support overall fitness.
Runners planning to enter any of the listed Bristol events can use the site’s map and filter tools to match dates and distances to their own schedules. The listings remain the most direct source for current entry fees and event formats.
