Eager runners sought ahead of Bristol half marathon
On Sunday September 17, runners will take to Bristol’s streets for a half-marathon that takes in sights such as the Harbourside and Clifton Suspension Bridge.
For Bristol-based cancer support charity Penny Brohn, the Bristol half is their flagship local race, and a vital part of their fundraising efforts throughout the year.
Spaces are still available to run for the charity this year – whether you are still deciding whether to take part, or even if you’ve already entered the race but aren’t running for a charity.

“We’ll really make you feel part of Team Penny Brohn, and the more runners involved, the more people we can help locally and across the UK.”
