Bedford Running Festival's Sunday programme features Half Marathon and 20 mile road races based at Russell Park beside the River Great Ouse. Both distances start together, forming the longer distance part of Bedford's weekend running festival.
Runners can choose between the Half Marathon and 20 mile race, with both providing longer road running challenges from the same central Bedford event base. The 20 mile distance is particularly suited to runners looking to step beyond the Half Marathon or build towards a marathon, while every finisher receives a medal and race goodies.
Russell Park hosts the festival village, bringing the start and finish atmosphere together with live entertainment, food, drink and activities. The Sunday races round out the weekend with two longer distance options and a community focused running event in the heart of Bedford.
