The moment hundreds of runners have been waiting for has nearly arrived.
Soon they will be pounding the streets of the city as they take part and do their best in the Simplyhealth Bristol 10k after (hopefully) some serious preparations.

Where is it? and what roads will be closed?
Starting on Anchor Road near Millennium Square and Bristol Cathedral it runs parallel to the historic Bristol Harbour before continuing along Avon Gorge and taking in the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge.
The return route takes in Spike Island and the Cumberland Basin before heading along Prince Street and the Centre, finally finishing on Anchor Road close to the start line so that runners can meet up with family and friends and make the most of the bars, restaurants and attractions at the Harbourside.
