Why the Great Bristol Run should be your next corporate challenge

Bristol's biggest race – the Great Bristol Run – returns on Sunday 14 May. 

With stunning scenery, nonstop entertainment, and a 10k or half marathon to choose from, it's a weekend you won't want to miss.  

Find out why you and your colleagues should step up to the start line:

Boost corporate wellness and get moving. We spend all day at our desks, so why not train during lunch breaks or post-work with your colleagues and relieve everyday stress? It's a great way to increase employee performance and productivity.  

1. Beat the boredom of solo running and run with a partner or a small group to make the time go faster and the run more enjoyable.
2. Build relationships with colleagues or people you usually don't cross paths with. Pre-run, mid-run, and post-run chats are a great way to get to know each other. 
3. Who doesn't love some friendly competition? Compete against other departments and see who can finish the quickest.
4. Work together as a team to keep each other motivated. You're more likely to push your limits by keeping up with your colleague/partner.  
5. Help hybrid or home workers feel more involved and challenge them to participate. Encourage colleagues to share their progress or incorporate your training into a team-building activity.
6. Enjoy your medal-winning moment as a team and soak up the cheering crowds of Bristol. 

If that wasn't enough, your strides could save lives at Bristol Children's Hospital when you sign up with The Grand Appeal. Every penny raised will help sick children needing life-saving care.
