Time: Registration opens at 6pm. Briefing at 7pm. Race starts at 7.15pm. To confirm we have erected a marquee for the race HQ which can be found on the green just in front of Countess Walk, Stapleton, Bristol, BS16 1EU.
Course: A challenging 10km around Stoke Park.
Registration and issuing race numbers will be at Countess Walk from 6pm, with the race briefing at 7pm and the start at 7.15pm. The course will be fully marked and there will be numerous marshals cheering you on. The course is slightly different to previous years so if you would like to have the route on your watch, the gpx can be downloaded from https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47547869.
Chances are it’s going to be fairly warm so please consider carrying some water with you. It’s a tough course with some steep climbs! Please also bear in mind that the ground will be hard and there are plenty of tree roots and rocks to trip over, so you’ll need to watch your step and wear appropriate running shoes.
Transport and parking:
If at all possible, please share transport with fellow runners. As a club, TACH is concerned to minimise the environmental impact of its events, as well as the impact on local residents. Parking is available at Snuff Mills car park, River View, Stapleton, Bristol, BS16 1DL which is an approximate 10-15 minutes walk to race HQ. N.B. the car park closes at 9.15pm.
There will be marshals showing you the route to the race HQ. It is really important that all runners please park at the car park identified where possible and avoid parking on Countess Walk or surrounding roads. We have over a hundred runners competing and we want to avoid the impact on local residents so that we are welcome back and can run this event in future.
We also encourage the use of public transport. The number 46 bus from Bristol City Centre to the Stapleton Baptist Church stop will also get you a 10-15 minute walk to the race HQ.
Prizes awarded to: 1st, 2nd and 3rd (M&F) as well as first V40, V50, V60 and V70+ (both M&F). Spot prizes may also be given.
Event Rules
Headphones - only bone conducting headphones are allowed. It is important you can still hear marshals, first aiders and fellow runners especially as there are sometimes livestock on the route.
