The Bath & Bristol Railway Races are a popular multi-distance running event hosted twice a year along the scenic and historic former railway line linking Bath and Bristol. Organized by Relish Running Races, the event offers a wide range of distances including a 2 km fun run, 10 km, half marathon, full marathon, a 25 km point-to-point race from Bath to Bristol Temple Meads, and a 50 km ultra marathon. The course is entirely on paved paths, making it fast, flat, and ideal for both first-timers and seasoned athletes chasing personal bests. Runners enjoy a unique backdrop of heritage railway stations, countryside views, and even an illuminated tunnel section, all while benefiting from well-stocked aid stations and excellent race support. With thoughtful logistics like bag transport, wave starts, and inclusive amenities, the event draws solo runners, families, and clubs alike for a memorable race day experience.
