The Sandy 10 Road Race was first run in 1983 and was the brainchild of Paul Tomlin, who still lives in the area.
In 1998 Biggleswade Athletic Club stepped forward to take over the responsibility for organising the race, with help from Sandy Scouts. By this time, new race regulations and the increased danger from traffic meant that a new course had to be found. Maurice Taylor, a member of Biggleswade AC at the time, planned the current route that runs out through the village of Everton and Gamlingay Heath. Since 1998, the race has grown in stature and is now considered the premier 10-mile road race in the region.
