Relish Running Races

Relish Running Races (Relish The Great Outdoors Ltd) has staged events in Bath and across the South West since 2011. Set up by former GB triathlete Tom, it runs a year-round calendar of wave-start races at venues such as Cheddar Gorge, Westonbirt Arboretum, the Larmer Tree Gardens, Badminton and Eastnor Castle, alongside flat railway-path races through the Bath and Wye Valley tunnels. Courses are heavily signed and marshalled, with feed stations about every 5km on longer races and large interlocking medals. Runners set off in waves of around 100, so start times are spread across the morning, and most events cater for everything from fun runs to marathons. Entry is through the Etchrock platform.
