The Frenchay 10K was first held in 1980 and is one of the country's oldest 10K events. After being away for 2 years due to the pandemic, we're delighted to be back for what will be our very special 40th anniversary run. The race was conceived with the joint purpose of staging a well-organised run for serious runners and beginners alike and raising money for local charities.
800 entry limit.
Officially certified 10k course.
This fundraising page benefits the following good causes:
Ronald McDonald House Bristol (RMHB) provides free 'home from home' accommodation and support to families of critically ill children being treated in the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. The families we look after come from as far away as Devon, Cornwall and South Wales to receive specialist treatment in Bristol. Once families have a room with us they can stay for as long as they need, which could be days, weeks, months or even years. Our objectives are to look after the whole family practically and emotionally enabling them to be able to feel some sense of ‘normality’ during one of the most stressful times in their lives.
Our service to the NHS is provided free of charge and is funded entirely by public donation and sponsorship. We transport blood, pathology & microbiology specimens, patient notes, X-rays, breast milk, and other medical supplies, Plus deliver every night to two local Air Ambulance bases. In 2020, we made over 7,800 deliveries, riding more than 225,000 miles. Freewheelers EVS operate a fleet of motorcycles each equipped with high-visibility markings for road presence. If our service did not exist hospitals would be forced to use taxis or commercial couriers. Freewheelers EVS is run entirely by volunteers
