ATW Bedford Half Marathon and 10k
The ATW Bedford Half Marathon and 10k takes place on a chip-timed route starting and finishing at Russell Park on the Bedford Embankment. The courses follow the River Ouse towards Priory Park, where participants complete a lap of Priory Lake before returning to the finish line. The event offers the following distances:
- 10 km
- 21.1 km (Half Marathon)
- Children’s Fun Run
The 10 km course consists of a single lap on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths with less than 50m of elevation. Those participating in the Half Marathon complete a second lap with a slight extension to reach the full distance, totaling approximately 100m of elevation. The route is marked with kilometer signs for the 10 km and mile markers for the Half Marathon.
The event includes a warm-up led by personal trainers and is attended by a professional commentator. Participants receive a custom-designed medal, finish line snacks, and free event photos. Facilities on-site include quality caterers for spectators. The children's fun run is free of charge and does not require pre-booking. The event partners with Alzheimer's Research UK for those interested in fundraising. Active Training World provides a transfer policy allowing participants to move their entry to a future event up to 48 hours before the race date.
