ATW Bedford 5 & 10

Sun 26th January 2025

A group of triathletes wearing race attire stand at the starting line, some smiling and others focused. They have race numbers attached to their suits. The background shows a cloudy sky and some trees. A man running outdoors on a sunny day, wearing a black outfit, white headband, and race bib number 341. He has a backpack and is sticking his tongue out playfully. There are houses and trees in the background. A smiling woman wearing a running bib and medal poses with a man in a blue hoodie. They stand near a refreshment table with water bottles. The background includes people and trees in a sunny outdoor setting. A group of runners jogs along a path near a lake on an overcast day. The runner in the foreground, wearing a pink top and colorful leggings, raises her arms in celebration. The other runners, dressed in various athletic gear, smile as they follow along the route.

Organiser's Description

The Bedford 5 & 10 is back for 2025!

This flat, fast, traffic-free and chip timed event is a sure-fire guaranteed way to give you the best chance of a PB over the 5 or 10 mile distance.

The distances are popular with runners early in the year for many reasons. For some its the start of a Spring marathon build up, for others its the unique distance that they like to challenge themselves annually, and for many its simply a winter challenge to provide an early-year target to kick-start their fitness drives.

This 5mile lap course starts and finishes on the beautiful Bedford Embankment and runs out alongside the flat, tree lined river Ouse. Heading out towards Priory Park on hard standing traffic-free paths, you will loop around the beautiful Priory Lake before traversing the paths alongside the River Ouse and a finish line back on the embankment. The whole route is on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths and with less than 100m of elevation across the whole course its bound to be a crowd pleaser and PB beater. 

The 10 mile route will bypass the finish area and head out to complete the lap for a second time.

This event is more than just a run. You’ll be welcomed home by a professional commentator and your cheer-squad will be kept fed and watered by quality caterers while you run.

Running with Friends or Family over the same distance? Select the groupsave ticket for a discount.....minimum 2 runners, maximum 10.

A FREE Children’s Fun Run will also take place before the 10 mile start (no need to book, just turn up to registration, and you’re welcome to use it as a warm-up for the main event!)
