Run Bristol, run!

Around 15,000 runners invaded Bristol City Centre on Sunday for the Bristol 10K. At 9.00am, most of the them were ready at the start line on Anchor Road while their families, friends and work colleagues took their places at the strategic points where runners would need to be cheered up.

The course had the start and finish point in Anchor Road, passing under the Suspension Bridge twice. It made a 10K loop to the city cetre crossing the river at Merchands Road, going along Cumberland Road and the city centre and finishing again in the Harbourside.

This year, one minute silence moment was observed to show respect and support for the victims of Boston at the start of the event. 

Weelchair participants left first, at 9.30am, along with the first wave of runners including some of the UK and world's elite runners. Then, the second one left around 9.45am.

Frank Tickner lead the first kilometres, who run a 10K for the first time, until the 7th kilometre, he was overtaken by Dave Webb, who won the men's race in 30 minutes. Gemma Steel crossed the line as the fastest lady at minute 32. Spider man was the first superhero to across the line at 10.30. 

The weather unbeliveably made its collaboration and the sun rised during the whole day. Great day!

For those who would like to participate, next 10K run in Bristol will be in Ashton Court on Saturday, 26 October 2013 and online entry is now opened.
