ATW Bedford 10k & Half Marathon
The ATW Bedford 10k & Half Marathon takes place in Bedford, with the event hub located at Russell Park. The routes are designed to be fast and flat, featuring minimal elevation changes. The 10k course has less than 50m of elevation, while the Half Marathon includes less than 100m.
The event offers three distinct distances:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
- 10k
- Family Fun Run
The courses consist of a one-lap loop for the 10k and a two-lap seasonal route for the Half Marathon. Participants start and finish on the Bedford Embankment, crossing the Town Bridge and following the River Ouse toward Priory Park. The route includes a lap of Priory Lake before returning to the Embankment. The entire course is held on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths.
The event includes several amenities for participants, such as warm-ups led by personal trainers, professional commentary, and free event photography. Kilometre markers are provided for the 10k, while the Half Marathon features mile markers. All finishers receive custom-designed medals and access to finish line snacks. A non-timed Family Fun Run is also available for all ages, with medals provided to all participating children.
