To do

• Need to find the names and finishing times of the race winners from the first race up to and including the 2000 event.
• A more detailed description of the route and a map would be an improvement.
• Some more information about the history of the race and why it was started.
• Please also provide information about the time of year when it takes place.

Bristol Marathon

Should we add something on the Bristol Marathon, which first ran in 1982 (I dimly recollect) out to Severn Beach in the full heat of a July(?) day. Linuxlad 13:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

That would be really useful, but I've been having quite a bit of difficulty finding sources to expand the article further. All of the articles and stats I've been able to find only seem to mention recent years, even the race history section of the official website doesn't give much detail.
