The Bristol + Bath Marathon is an annual marathon held between the cities of Bristol and Bath in the United Kingdom.[1]
The course begins in Bristol city centre and follows much of the route of the Bristol Half Marathon, passing under the Clifton Suspension Bridge. It then heads eastwards out of the city, following the A431 to Bath, finishing in Royal Victoria Park.[2]
Despite the inaugural race being considered a success, the 2016 edition was cancelled due to the race organisers being unable to secure the road closures necessary for the race to be held safely. The second running of the event is scheduled for 22 October 2017.[3]
