ATW Bedford 5 & 10
Join ATW Bedford 5 & 10 2026
This meticulously organized, flat, fast, and chip-timed event offers an optimal opportunity for achieving a personal best over the 5 or 10-mile distance.
These distances are particularly favored by runners early in the year for various reasons. Some view it as the commencement of their Spring marathon build-up, others relish the unique challenge of the distance as an annual tradition, and many consider it a winter challenge, establishing an early-year target to kick-start their fitness journeys.
The 5-mile lap course commences and concludes on the picturesque Bedford Embankment, extending alongside the flat, tree-lined River Ouse. Traveling toward Priory Park on well-maintained, traffic-free paths, you'll encircle the scenic Priory Lake before navigating the paths adjacent to the River Ouse, culminating in a finish line back on the embankment. The entire route is on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths, boasting a negligible elevation of less than 100m across the entire course, ensuring it's a crowd-pleaser and PB breaker.
For those undertaking the 10-mile challenge, the route repeats the lap for a second time.
This event transcends a mere run; upon your return, a professional commentator will welcome you home, and your support team can indulge in quality catered refreshments while you conquer the course.
As an added bonus, a FREE Children’s Fun Run awaits before the 10-mile start—no reservation required, just show up at registration, and feel free to use it as a lively warm-up for the main event!b
