ATW Bedford 10k & Half Marathon

The ATW Bedford 10k and Half Marathon is a flat road-and-path race held on Bedford Embankment, offering 10k and half marathon distances on the same traffic-free course. The 10k consists of a single lap, while the half marathon involves two laps with a short extension to complete the 21.1km. The route is designed for consistent pacing, featuring under 50 metres of elevation gain for the 10k and under 100 metres for the half marathon. Kilometre markers are provided for the 10k, and mile markers for the half. The course departs the Embankment towards Town Bridge, crosses the River Ouse, follows the river towards Priory Park, circles Priory Lake, and finishes back on the Embankment. The surface is tarmac or firm path throughout, making it a suitable option for runners aiming for a personal best or those seeking a local event. ATW includes standard race amenities: warm-ups led by a personal trainer, a finish line commentator, custom medals, complimentary event photos, post-race snacks and goodies, refreshments for supporters, and a free Family Fun Run alongside the main events.
