About the event
Centred on this elegant historic city, take on a 50 km Ultra, a testing 29 km, or a sharp 10 km challenge at your pace!
From basecamp at Bath Racecourse, 2000 adventurers will head out on looped routes around & through Bath – with fantastic panoramic views, past the famous Royal Crescent, along the River Avon and taking in many of the city’s sights & sounds and the surrounding countryside.
You’ll get full support all the way, and a celebration finish back at basecamp.
Why take on a challenge for Cancer Research UK?
Bridie has taken on the Great North Run six times as part of Team Cancer Research UK. She fundraises in memory of her Dad, who died of bowel cancer.
My first runs were really hard, but I trained and persevered, and I got better. On the day of my first Great North Run I wore my Cancer Research UK vest with pride, I was so happy to be taking part. The atmosphere was amazing and crossing the finish line I was ecstatic! I was so proud of myself and how far I’d come. Every step is worth it. For every person we lose to cancer, it spurs me on even more to continue fundraising so that we can find a cure.
