Run series - performance tee #WeAreBristol Performance Shirt

Grab a #WeAreBristol performance t-shirt, supporting the Bristol Run Series, for £6 either through the University of Bristol Online Shop or during sign-up for any events in the Series.

Crafted from a lightweight Neoteric™ fabric that wicks sweat away from the skin to ensure you stay cool and dry, this T-shirt will take the heat off you whether you're working out or taking part in our Run Series.

Performance tees will be available for collection, restrictions permitting, and UK and International postage options are available at check out.

Support hub

Access our support hub full of resources to help you get over the finish line, including a variety of training plans for all abilities, plus information, advice and guidance curated by our in-house experts, on topics such as route planning, injury prevention, nutrition and sport psychology.

Charities: Healthy Minds & NHS Charities

In 2020, when The Great Run Company had to make the decision cancel the Great Bristol 10k due to Covid-19, over £4,000 was raised for Healthy Minds and NHS Charities Together thanks to those of you who donated your registration fees rather than getting a refund.  

From your feedback, the Bristol Run Series will continue to support both charities and you will be given the option to add a donation when you sign up to any of our Run Series events.

Healthy Minds 

Our virtual 10k runners can still go the extra mile & combine their training with fundraising for the University of Bristol’s Healthy Minds programme. Support your own mental & physical wellbeing whilst raising funds to support the wellbeing of our students.    

NHS Charities Together 

NHS Charities Together provides a forum for nationwide fundraising & advocacy campaigns; specialist advice & guidance; bespoke conferences & training opportunities, as well as access to online resources & support through exclusive member pages on our website.
