Event overview
The distances are popular with runners early in the year for a variety of reasons. For some, it marks the start of a spring marathon build-up; for others, it’s a unique annual challenge. For many, it’s simply the perfect winter target to kick-start their fitness.
This event is more than just a run. You’ll be welcomed home by a professional commentator, while your supporters can enjoy quality catering as they cheer you on.
A free children’s fun run takes place before the 10-mile start—no booking required. Just turn up at registration and join in, or use it as a warm-up for the main event.

Great event lovely route and good atmosphere. Charlene S
Brilliant flat course - well organised, well marshalled throughout - friendly happy ATW staff. Great event, would recommend. Claire C
Really fun and friendly event. Loved the location on the river side at Bedford. Plenty of parking availability on nearby roads. Route was almost totally flat (only 10m elevation!) so PB potential. 2 laps for 10 miles and 1 for 5 miles. Nice medal and loads of freebies at the finish line. Everyone I saw had a great time. It catered for fun joggers to club level runners. Will definitely do this again. Nick C
Beautiful course and friendly and encouraging marshals and evert staff. Linda
