“The purpose of this event is to get people running together from all over the south west and currently we have an A race with the likes of Jack Bancroft, Ben Robinson, Harry Allen, Andy Watt and Kurt Taylor from Bristol and West all looking to go under 15 minutes,” said a spokesman from B&W.
“From further afield we have Will Ferguson of CLC striders who has clocked 15:07 over 5k and with a good Cheltenham contingent joining the race we expect some quick times all over.”
The meeting starts at 6pm with the A races at 8.40pm. The standards range from 22 minutes to 14mins 30secs and runners of similar abilities will be grouped together to give them competitive races.
“Pacing assistance will include a pace-maker for each race running splits towards a pre-identified time,” added the spokesman.
“The event will be chip timed with a lap split displaying 400 metre splits. Supporters will be encouraged to cheer on athletes and the bar will be open for the whole event.”
