ATW Bedford Half Marathon & 10k
This is a chip timed running event held at Russell Park, Bedford, MK40 3RH. Two distances are offered:
- 10 km one lap course starting and finishing on the Bedford Embankment
- Half Marathon two laps with a small extension to reach 21.1 km
The 10 km route follows the Embankment toward the Town Bridge, crosses the bridge, runs beside the River Ouse to Priory Park, completes a lap of Priory Lake, and returns to the Embankment. The half marathon covers the same route with an additional section to make up the accurate 21.1 km distance. The course uses traffic free tarmac or firm paths and includes both kilometre markers for the 10 km and mile markers for the half marathon. Elevation is reported at under 50 m across the 10 km and about 100 m across the half marathon.
Event services include a warm up led by personal trainers, a professional commentator at the finish, and onsite catering for spectators. A free Children’s Fun Run takes place before the main race; participants may register on arrival. The event partnered with Alzheimer’s Research UK for fundraising. Ticketed entry options are listed with separate prices for the 10 km and the half marathon. The event sold out in 2026. The organiser provides an event transfer option to future ATW events up to 48 hours before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
