About

We are excited to announce that the nation’s most popular running distance, the 5K, will be added to the Bedford Running Festival this summer. Open to ages eight and above and with no time cut off, the Bedford 5K promises to be an inclusive, fun-filled, family-oriented experience. The additional event will take place after Bedford’s established parkrun, providing another opportunity for those who want to do both events, whilst also acting as a stepping stone towards longer distances at larger scaled running events.
