Bradley Stoke 10k

Bradley Stoke 10k is a great local race on the edge of Bristol, with the 2025 event being our 20th edition. The route is a lovely looped course starting at the Jubilee Centre before heading through the tracks and footpaths of the Three Brooks Nature Reserve and much coveted traffic-free sections before returning back to the Jubilee.

The race sees a great uptake of runners from the local community (143 Bradley Stoke residents in 2024!) and coincides with the popular Bradley Stoke Community Festival. It is marshalled by Sole Sister club members, local residents and local community groups and churches making sure you are well looked after on race day and cheered on with huge smiles and enthusiasm.

Please note: as our route is a multi-terrain course, it is not an officially measured route and it does not receive a certificate of course accuracy. Some trackers will note it as just over 10k and others slightly under 10k.

In-ear headphones will NOT be permitted. Anyone found running with these headphones will be disqualified. In line with UK athletics rules, bone conducting headphones are allowed. These rules are in place for safety reasons which is why the penalty for a breach of the rules is disqualification. We need runners to be able to fully hear our brilliant marshals for instructions and there are parts of the course where traffic is present.

We do not have any road closures during the race. We have adapted the race route over the 20 years to reduce the number of road crossings and the interface with traffic. Due to the roads not being closed by the police, runners need to make sure they are crossing safely and taking instructions from marshals and staying on the pavements where required.

There will be water stations around the course. We ask all runners to drain their water bottles and dispose of them at the water stations, back at HQ or with our marshals who all have provision to dispose of them. Please do not dispose of them on route as we do not want to litter in our wonderful Nature Reserve or throughout the local area.

This is a UK Athletics registered event, license number 2024-47793.
