ATW Bedford 10k & Half Marathon
ATW Events stages a 10 km race and a Half Marathon at Russell Park in Bedford. The 10 km is one lap on a route that starts and finishes on the Bedford Embankment, continues over the Town Bridge, follows the River Ouse to Priory Park and circles Priory Lake before returning to the Embankment. The Half Marathon covers the 10 km circuit again with a small extension to reach the full 21.1 km distance.
The course is on traffic free tarmac or firm paths. Total elevation is under 50 m for the 10 km and around 100 m for the Half Marathon. Kilometre markers are provided for the 10 km and mile markers for the Half Marathon.
Event services include warm ups led by personal trainers, a professional commentator at the finish, on-site catering, finish line snacks, custom medals and free event photos. A free Family Fun Run is scheduled on the same day; it is open to all ages and children under eight must be accompanied by an adult. The fun run is not chip timed and there are no results; all child participants receive a medal.
Organiser policies note that refunds are not offered but entries can be transferred to future ATW events up to 48 hours before the original event date. The event supports Alzheimer Research UK with opportunities to donate at checkout. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
