10 places. 13.1 miles. One brilliant cause. Run the Bath Half for Young Bristol in 2027!
Fancy taking on a new challenge in 2027? Young Bristol is looking for 10 runners to join our team at the Bath Half Marathon on Sunday 14th March, raising vital funds to support young people across Bristol.
Whether you're chasing a personal best, taking on your first half marathon or looking for a challenge to share with friends, family or colleagues, we'd love you to join us!
The Bath Half Marathon is one of the South West's best-loved running events, taking runners through the beautiful streets of Bath, with thousands of spectators cheering them on along the way.
And this year, you could be running for something even bigger than the finish line.
A challenge worth taking on
In March 2026, five fantastic supporters took on the Bath Half Marathon to raise money for Young Bristol, including Oli Blacklidge from Unite Students, who completed his first half marathon alongside his mum.
Reflecting on his experience, Oli shared:
"This was my first half marathon, so it was brilliant to see how many people came out to support all the runners. Their support (and hi-fives), running with my lovely mum and knowing what an amazing cause I was supporting is what made me achieve a time that was well under my goal."
Now, we're looking for 10 more people to lace up their trainers and make a difference in 2027!
Every mile makes a difference
For nearly 100 years, Young Bristol has been supporting young people across the city, providing safe spaces, trusted relationships and opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and try new experiences.
By fundraising for Young Bristol, you'll be helping us continue this important work through our Youth Clubs, outdoor activities and wider programmes.
To put that into perspective:
- Just £360 can fund an evening of youth work for 35 young people, supported by our trained Youth Leaders.
- £500 can provide a young person on our Outdoor Employment Programme with a Paddlesport Instructor qualification.
- And through a collective effort we could reach £4,300, which will keep one of our Community Youth Clubs open for a whole month, offering 3 nights of provision a week!
Every donation, however big or small, helps us create more opportunities for young people across Bristol.
