The Thornbury 10k is on Thursday 14th July 2020, race starting at 19:30. The Club organises three events each year with a percentage of profits going to our adopted charity, Bristol Bone Marrow, and to support Club activities. This enables the Club to fund ‘Run & Rehydrate’, EA membership subsidy, pay individuals cross country entry fees, subsidies Annual Party ticket cost, % on T-shirts etc. Your help makes all this possible. We also need more entries so If you have friends or work colleagues that run please direct them to entries.
