Junior and Mini Great Bristol Run

The Great Bristol Family Run is taking on a brand-new spin for 2025.

Join us on Saturday 10 May for the first ever AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Bristol Run. Taking place a day before the Great Bristol 10km and Half Marathon, you and your family can take centre stage.

Little ones aged between three and eight can tackle a 1.5km dash, while children ages nine to fifteen are invited to take part in the 2.5km junior run.

An exciting city centre route beginning and ending at College Green, expect an electric atmosphere, photo opportunities and lots of family fun!

FAQs

How do I take part?

Buy your ticket on the Great Run website and register with us to let us know! You will receive a branded charity top and any fundraising materials that you might need, and we will also be on hand to support you in your fundraising journey.

Is there a minimum fundraising pledge?

As you are buying your own tickets for the event, there is no minimum fundraising pledge. We would however encourage and support you to raise as much as possible, both in order to help us to cover the costs of the resources you receive but also to raise the maximum amount for Bristol Children’s Hospital or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

How do I set up a fundraising page?

Once you have registered with us, you will be shown how to set up an online giving page.

We highly recommend creating a JustGiving page or an Enthuse page to share your story, pictures, the reason for your fundraising and any training updates with friends and family.

They are simple platforms to use, for both yourself and your supporters. All donations made to your page are transferred to us automatically and it allows supporters to gift aid their donations.

What happens to my place if the event is cancelled?

Great Run have a ‘buying with confidence’ ticket policy which means that if the event is cancelled you will be given the option to either refund your ticket or roll it over to next year’s race – whichever you would prefer. In the event of the race being cancelled, you will receive an email from Great Run with instructions (be sure to check your junk mail) and also from us. Great Run handle all of the event day logistics. So, if you do have any questions or concerns regarding the event or your ticket, be sure to check out the FAQ on their website or contact them.

Is there a minimum age?

The Junior & Mini Great Bristol Run is open to entrants aged three and above. Participants aged between three and eight must be accompanied by an adult.
