Two weeks of exciting runs, workshops, and community in the build-up to race day.
We’re bringing together a series of events designed to help you feel confident, prepared, and part of something bigger ahead of the Great Bristol Half Marathon & 10K on the 10th of May.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or just looking to enjoy the day, this is your chance to dial in your prep, meet other runners, and soak up the pre-race atmosphere. (Spaces are limited so please sign up following the individual sign-up links below).
Monday 27th April
Run Smart: Feet First
Foot Health Workshop
Your feet are doing all the work on race day, so it makes sense to look after them.
We’re hosting an in-store workshop with Emma Barnes, a qualified podiatrist from Footworks, to cover everything you need to know about keeping your feet healthy and race-ready. Expect practical advice on blister prevention, foot strengthening, and choosing the right socks, plus the chance to ask your own questions.
We’ll also be joined by The Feats, who will be showcasing their all-natural and science-backed active foot care products to support your training and racing.
A relaxed, informative evening designed to help you run more comfortably and confidently. Sign up HERE.
Wednesday 29th April
Run Smart: Fuel Your Race
5k Social Run + Demos + Running Nutrition Workshop
Fuel smart, run strong.
We’ll kick things off with a social 5K run around the harbour, giving you the chance to test out your race-day setup. You’ll be able to try energy gels from Purendure, along with demo Hylo shoes and Silva hydration vests (attendees will get FREE gels*).
After the run, we’ll head back to the shop for a workshop and open Q&A with Rachel White, a sports nutritionist and endurance athlete, focused on fuelling strategies for 10K and half marathon distances.
Perfect if you’re unsure what to take on, when to take it, or just want to fine-tune your approach before race day. Sign up HERE.

Ready for Race Day
However your training has gone, this final stretch is about arriving at the start line feeling prepared, confident, and part of something bigger.
The Kinisi Run Hub Festival of Running is designed to give you exactly that. From practical workshops to social miles, it’s a chance to fine-tune the details, ask questions, try new gear, and connect with other runners who are all building towards the same goal.
Whether you join us for one event or the full series, we’d love to see you in the shop, out on the run, or at the track in the lead-up to race weekend.
Let’s make the most of the final weeks and head into the Great Bristol Half Marathon & 10K feeling excited and ready to run well.
We’ll see you there!
