For full transparency I will say up front that I am a huge fan of Relish Running (but not affiliated in anyway). I’ve been running in their events for a few years now and they are up there with the best races you’ll find in South Wales and the West.

I really enjoyed this race. It was my first time running a 20 miler and its position in the calendar is perfect for those training for a spring marathon (I was building up to the London Marathon).

2024 was the debut year for this mixed terrain marathon and 25k event.

Starting at the University of the West of England campus in Frenchay, the route weaved its way through various trails and paths from north Bristol across to Bath.
