Race information

Our Self Transcendence Races in Bristol take place on weekday evenings every Summer between early-May and late July on the "Sri Chinmoy Mile" in Eastville Park. For 2008 we have two 2 mile races, a 5k and a 3 x 1 Mile Relay which is open to any team of three runners (and is loads of fun - the highlight of the series!).

The course is an accurately measured, undulating 1-mile pavement loop around the perimeter of the park. Shaded by trees for much of its length, the course is perfect for summer evening racing or speedwork.



Every entrant's time is recorded and medals are given out on the night as soon as the last runner has completed the course. The medal categories (apart from the relay) are:

First 7 men and women
First 3 men and women 50+
First 2 men and women 60+
First man and woman 70+

We also hope to have a goody bag (or possibly a T-shirt - watch this space) for every runner who completes the three individual races.The race start and registration are next to the car park at Park Avenue (just off Fishponds Road, top of Eastville Park). There are decent toilets available at the bowling club adjacent to the race start but no proper changing/showering facilities, so come ready to run. Results will be posted here on the web (and race photos too).

Minimum age for the race series is 15 years but the relay is open to 11 year olds and up as it is only 1 mile - junior teams are welcome.
