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.

Overview
The 5-mile lap starts and finishes on the beautiful Bedford Embankment, following flat, tree-lined paths along the River Ouse. The route heads out towards Priory Park on traffic-free, hard-standing paths, loops around Priory Lake, and returns along the river to the embankment finish. With less than 100m of elevation and a fully traffic-free surface of tarmac and firm paths, it’s a fast, PB-friendly course.
The 10-mile route follows the same course, continuing past the finish to complete a second lap.

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
