The Bristol Run Series is a mix of virtual and in-person running events, so you can take part no matter where you are!

This year the series included three pathways, each containing three events to be completed. Whether you're a seasoned marathon runner or just starting out, there's a pathway that’s ready for you.

The Bristol Run Series 2024 has now finished but you can still access the support hub with training plans, videos, and blogs to guide you along your running journey!

Healthy Minds

We're proud to support and promote the Healthy Minds programme, that supports students who face mental health difficulities.

The programme takes positive steps to improve the way students feel through a varied and socially engaging programme of physical activity. Students are referred by either the Student Counselling Service or the Mental Health Advisory Service, where they then work with an activity mentor to develop new skills, interests, and to find ways to help them feel better and stay well into the future.

The programme is free for students thanks to the generosity of Bristol’s donor community. We've now supported over 500 students in improving their wellbeing, with a 100% improvement rate.
