The Bath & Bristol Railway Races October begins at Green Park Station in Bath, directing participants along the former railway line toward Bristol Temple Meads. Distances include 10K, half marathon, 25K, 50K, and ultra, catering to those seeking a short, flat run or a lengthy trail challenge.

The half marathon follows an out-and-back route to Bitton Train Station, featuring 2.5K each way alongside the Avon Valley Railway.

The race incorporates both current and historical railway elements, and the Bath-to-Bristol direction establishes a distinct local character for the series, connecting two significant West Country stations.
