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 5 mile 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.
