EventsEventsBristol to Bath Trail Escape Marathon 2024DescriptionExperience a new kind of trail event in 2024. Run or hike/walk a marathon on traffic-free routes out into our stunning countryside for a unique and fully supported marathon experience. Enjoy the rare opportunity to take part in a trail event that takes place on a Saturday, and offers city convenience! Route: Starting from UWE Bristol with great transport links, the route will follow a traffic-free ‘green corridor’ route out of the city to pick up well established and maintained trails. Participants will enjoy stunning views over the city as well as a relatively ‘gentle’ first section of the route as it heads into the picturesque and relatively flat South Gloucestershire countryside. The middle section of the route will see participants continuing to enjoy mostly flat and traffic-free South Gloucestershire countryside as it gears up for the tougher (but most rewarding) third section of the course; entering the Cotswolds AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The final leg of the route will provide participants with breathtaking views back over to Bristol (and even further into Wales) before the descent into the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath and an amazing finish amongst its iconic Georgian backdrops. There will be a Run Series cheerpoint on the route ... for another totally iconic route that is unique to our amazing city. Data Share Notice: Registration information will be shared with the event partner, Trail Escape.
