This week at BTR 😊
A slightly quieter week for us, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of fun to be had!

🏔️ Tuesday 29 Sept | 19:00 – Hills at Stoke Park
We’re settling into our new Tuesday home at Stoke Park! Expect plenty of hills, plenty of reps and plenty of regrouping. All abilities welcome, so come and get stuck in 🏔️

🌿 Wednesday 30 Sept | 18:00 – Frome Valley 16K
Our midweek trail fix along the Frome Valley. A lovely mix of woodland, riverside trails and a few sneaky hills along the way.

🏎️ Thursday 01 Oct | 18:30 – Speed on The Downs
Short efforts, longer reps or something wonderfully horrible in between… you’ll have to turn up to find out 😈
As always, everything is based on time rather than distance, so everyone works at their own pace and we regroup throughout.

💚 Not part of the crew yet?
Come and see what we’re all about with a free 7-day trial. No pressure, just great trails and even better people.

What’s happening this week…spoiler alter it’s a biggie! 👇🏼

🌅 Tuesday 22 Sept | 06:30 – Early Bird 8K
An easy-going 8K before work. Start half asleep, finish feeling smug before most of Bristol has even got out of bed

🏔️ Tuesday 22 Sept | 19:00 – Hills at Stoke Park
Tuesday night means hill reps! Expect plenty of grassy climbs, plenty of regrouping and a session that works whatever pace you run.

🌿 Wednesday 23 Sept | 18:00 – Frome Valley 16K
Our classic midweek longer run through Stoke Park and along the Frome Valley. Steady, social miles with woodland, riverside trails and a few hills thrown in.

👟 Wednesday 23 Sept | 18:30 – HOKA Demo Night with Ellis Brigham
Shoes, trails and pizza — a very strong Wednesday evening! Get fitted with a pair of HOKA demo shoes, take them out on the trails and find out what all the fuss is about.

👟Thursday 24 Sept | 18:00 – Merrell Demo Night with Up & Running
Then we do it all again! Yvette and the team at Up & Running are welcoming us in to test the new Merrell Agility Peak 6. Arrive from 18:00 to get fitted, ready to run at 18:30, with free snacks and refreshments afterwards.

🏔️ Saturday 26 Sept | 06:00 – Crook Peak 8/16K
An excellent and accessible part of the Mendips for some hilly trails and great views. Complete one or two loops, depending on how far you fancy going. A brilliant introduction to hillier running without losing the adventure.

🔦 Headtorch season is here! Please bring one to our evening runs from now on.

Girls Night popped off! 🍾

We knew from the interest beforehand that people were excited about this run, but we were still blown away when 40 of you joined us on Wednesday. That makes it one of the most-attended BTR runs we’ve EVER held! 🤩🥹

It was especially lovely to see so many new faces alongside familiar ones. A huge thank you to Beth and Sophie for making it happen, and to everyone who came, shared the event or helped spread the word.

The response made one thing very clear: Girls Night is here to stay 💚

Our next event will be on Wednesday 14 October at 7pm on the Downs. Once again, you don’t need to be a BTR member to join us 🥳

Bookings are now open through the link in our bio.

Who’s joining us for the next one? Let us know in the comments below 👇🏽

BTR x BTR

Our first collab run with Black Trail Runners was a huge success!

We had a whopping turnout of 20 runners in Leigh Woods, and we probably did as much chatting as running. There were some really honest conversations about the barriers people face in running and on the trails. We shared experiences, asked questions and genuinely wanted to learn from each other.

A huge thank you to Malc Allen, who also leads with Cheltenham & Gloucester Trail Runners, and Alexander Thomas for arranging, and to everyone who came along. We left wanting to do lots more together, so hopefully this was the first of many.

While we work on getting the next one in the diary, there’s already another chance to get involved. The Black Trail Runners are bringing Black to the Trails® | A Carnival of Trail Running to Bristol for the first time on Sunday 11 October at Blaise Castle. There’ll be 1K, 5K and 10K distances, plus music, food and plenty happening throughout the day. It’s open to everyone, and they’re also looking for volunteers too! Get involved!

🌿 Wednesday 09 Sept | 18:00 – Trym Valley 10K
Trym Valley is back! It’s been a while since we’ve had this one on the schedule. Mary will be leading a lovely loop from Clifton Downs, down into Trym Valley, through the Avon Gorge and back up Goat Gully. And if you’re heading to Girls Night afterwards, you can roll straight from one into the other 👇🏽

🤩 Wednesday 09 Sept | 19:00 – Girls Night 5K – The Downs
Our first Girls Night! 💚
Beth and Sophie are leading a relaxed, social 5K on the Downs, just for the girls. Come meet some friendly faces, have a run and hopefully leave with a few more trail mates.
New to BTR, already part of the crew or completely new to trail running then come along!

🏎️ Thursday 10 Sept | 18:30 – Speed on The Downs
Thursday means SPEED 🏎️💨
Come get the legs moving with a mix of faster efforts and plenty of recovery. You absolutely don’t need to be ‘fast’ to join us turn up, give it a go and work at your own pace.

💚 Saturday 12 Sept | 10:00 – Black Trail Runners Collab 7K – Leigh Woods
We’re really excited to be teaming up Black Trail Runners for our first collab event!
Black Trail Runners’ mission is to increase the inclusion, participation and representation of Black people in trail running, and everyone is welcome to come along, show their support and be part of it.

GIRLS NIGHT IS HERE 💚

We’re on a mission to get more girls on the trails! 🏃‍♀️🌿

On Wednesday 9th, Run Leaders Beth & Sophie are hosting our first ever BTR Girls Night. A super chilled, sociably paced 5K on the Downs.

New to BTR? Already run with us? Just want to meet more women to hit the trails with? Come along!

Beth and Soph actually met through BTR and are now good friends. They joined to feel safer running trails, especially in the dark, explore longer distances and get inspired by other runners.

We know turning up to a new club can be daunting when you don’t know anyone, and trail running can still feel pretty male dominated. Girls Night is a chance to come meet some friendly faces, have a run and get to know the club.

We’ll run together, keep it social and stay as a group. All abilities welcome!

📅 Wednesday 9 September
⏰ 19:00
📍 Downs Water Tower
🏃‍♀️ Relaxed 5K

Girls Night is open to all. You don’t need to be a BTR member to come along 💚

A little Thursday leg turnover! Expect a fun mix of efforts with plenty of recovery and regrouping between reps. As always, the session is designed to work for whoever turns up — no speedy credentials required. 🏎️💨

🏅 MEDAL MONDAY 🏅

Huge congratulations to Ru, who took on the GMU45 this weekend for her first ever ultra… and only went and finished 3rd female! 🥉🔥

An amazing result, and even better to hear she loved every minute of it. All those Tuesday night hills clearly paying off! 🏔️

We absolutely love seeing our members taking on new challenges and smashing them. 💚
