Beyond Bristol takes you off the beaten track, beyond your usual route, beyond the tarmac and on a running adventure like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. It’s both accessible and welcoming - think lots of signage, support and a city centre start and finish - and totally wild - get ready for parks and woodland, riverside trails and plenty of mud. There’s a 25km trail option or a 55km ultra if you want to push yourself even further - but remember, you can take it at your own pace. Walkers, joggers, runners - everyone’s welcome at Beyond Bristol.

Then, leaving the river, the route passes through Eastville park and links with the Bristol and Bath Railway, covering over 10km on the old railway before joining the River Avon Trail. On the riverside, the trail loops back under the railway and snakes back into the city to the finish.
