This March, I’m fundraising for Bristol-based charity Bridges For Communities by running across 45 of Bristol’s bridges.

I’ll be crossing all 45 bridges by following a 55km total route, which I'll complete through multiple runs throughout March 2026, picking up each run where the last one ended.

What makes this extra special (and daunting!) is that March marks one year since I started running through the Couch to 5k programme. To this day, 5km is still the furthest I’ve ever run in one go, so tackling 55km in only a couple of weeks is quite the challenge. But last year, through completing an adventure coaching programme (Firefly Adventures) I set the intention to bring more challenge into my life!

The Plan 🗺️

- I'll be aiming to cover the full 55km between 9th - 29th March 2026

- Some of this will be covered by shorter evening runs after work

- I'll also do a few longer weekend sessions, mixing walking and running, to make sure I get the full distance done without injury, but will definitely run across every single bridge!

Why I’m Doing This ❤️

Bridges for Communities is a Bristol based charity that connects people of different cultures, races and faiths, enabling them to build friendships, grow in their understanding of one another and live well with difference.

This work is incredibly close to my heart. My own life has been deeply shaped by the kindness, care, and welcome I’ve received from people of all backgrounds when travelling to new places and I truly believe everyone deserves that sense of belonging.

If you’re able to donate, you won’t just be supporting my running challenge, you’ll be helping build real bridges between people in our city.

Thank you so much for reading, sharing, and supporting 💛
