Enter your company team for this year’s Business Challenge.
An inclusive celebration of running for all ages and abilities, the Great Bristol Run takes over the city’s streets 10 and 11 May.
The popular 10k and half-marathon events take place on Sunday 11 May and take in some of Bristol’s most iconic landmarks, including a trip through the historic harbourside, past Castle Park and through Queen Square, with views along the Avon Gorge on the way.
A live finish-line DJ, on-course music zones and thousands of cheering spectators add to the buzzing atmosphere, carrying all the way through to the après-run zone in Millennium Square, an ideal spot to start post-run celebrations.
Record numbers are expected on the start line after 20,000 runners took part in 2024 and your company team could be among them.
A team effort
A fast-growing part of the Great Bristol Run is the Business Challenge which brings together teams from businesses across the city and region for the 10k or half-marathon. It’s become an annual fixture in the calendar of local businesses, with hundreds of runners representing a diverse range of companies each year.
Teams can be any size (minimum of 4) and are all inclusive, with no maximum limits on team size, age or gender. Winners are picked based on the four fastest collective times, with the winning team at each event receiving a first place Business Challenge plaque to display with pride.
This year’s challenge offers a great opportunity for each individual organisation to encourage a healthy outlook for staff, engage in all-important team building, and focus on charity fundraising for their chosen good cause.

This year’s AJ Bell Great Bristol Run will also feature a brand new Junior & Mini event. Billed as ‘Super Saturday’, the event will see Minis (aged 3-8) running a 1.5km loop and Juniors (aged 8-15) facing a 2.5k challenge. Both start and finish at College Green and will follow a city centre route taking in some of Bristol’s famous landmarks.
The Great Bristol Run will be partnering Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the dedicated charity for Bristol Children’s Hospital, to host the new Junior & Mini event.
