University of Bristol 10 mile paced training run 2027

This one went down a treat last year, and we are delighted the start and finish is hosted again by our partners the Underfall Yard Trust. This event is designed to support those of you wanting to transition from 10K to half marathon, and specifically support your pacing.  

So come and join us in the heart of Bristol on Sunday 7 March 2027.  A relaxed introduction or re-introduction into in-person events, with approximate finish timed wave starts [and this year we’ve included pace per kilometre] so you are with similarly paced runners.  This event isn’t about quick times, but about pacing, getting the distance in your legs, and being immersed in the heart of the city with like-minded people. 

The reward at the end is a medal [just wait until you see it!] along with food and refreshments right on the harbour waterside in the heart of the historic Underfall Yard. Your training run group leaders are part of the University Athletics and Cross-Country Club [UoBACCC], Sport, Exercise and Health staff, or part of our Run Series community, not to mention you will have the worlds greatest marshals to support you enroute.
