Course and race features
The 10k is a one-lap route that starts and finishes on the Bedford Embankment, runs out along the Embankment towards Town Bridge, crosses the bridge, follows the River Ouse to Priory Park, completes a lap of Priory Lake, then returns to the Embankment. The Half Marathon covers a second lap with a slight extension to reach the 21.1 km distance. The course uses traffic-free tarmac or firm paths and includes kilometre markers for the 10k and mile markers for the Half Marathon. Elevation is listed as less than 50 m for the 10k and about 100 m for the Half Marathon.
The event includes organised warm-ups with personal trainers, a professional commentator at the finish, supportive marshals, free event photos, a custom medal, and finish-line snacks and catering for spectators.
