SUMMARY:ATW Bedford Half Marathon & 10k
DESCRIPTION:Location: \n\n\n\nRussell Park\, Bedford\, Bedfordshire\, MK40 3RH \n\n\n\nThis chip-timed event is a sure-fire guarantee to give you the best chance of a PB in the Half-Marathon or 10K. \n\n\n\nThe one lap 10k course starts and finishes on the beautiful Bedford Embankment and runs out alongside the flat\, tree lined river Ouse. After heading out towards Priory Park and a lap of the beautiful Priory Lake you’ll return to the Embankment over the Town Bridge and hearing the cheers of the crowds at the finish line. \n\n\n\nThose tackling the Half Marathon will head back out for a second-lap with a slight extension to make up the accurate 21.1km (13.1 mile) Half Marathon distance. \n\n\n\nThe course will have both kilometre markers for the 10k and mile markers for the Half Marathon. \n\n\n\nThe whole route is on traffic-free tarmac or firm paths and with less than 50m of elevation across the 10k\, and 100m across the Half Marathon its bound to be a PB buster! \n\n\n\nThis event is more than just a run. You’ll be warmed up with personal trainers\, welcomed home by a professional commentator and your cheer-squad will be kept fed and watered by quality caterers while you run. \n\n\n\nA FREE Children’s Fun Run will also take place before the race start (no need to book\, just turn up to registration\, and you’re welcome to use it as a warm-up for the main event!) \n\n\n\nReason to Enter This Event:\n\n\n\n\nPB busting course\n\n\n\nBeautiful embankment run course\n\n\n\nWell marked course\n\n\n\nSupportive marshals\n\n\n\n5-star reviews on race check\n\n\n\nFREE event photos\n\n\n\nCustom designed medal\n\n\n\nFinish line snacks & goodies\n\n\n\nExcellent Previous Participant Reviews

SUMMARY:TrailFest - Salcey Forest
DESCRIPTION:What is TrailFest?\n\n\n\nIt’s a day of moving around wonderful woodland for all abilities\, speeds and experiences. Whether you’re an experienced ultra runner keen to get an early season 50 km in or a newbie trail runner looking to do their first 10K TrailFest is for you! \n\n\n\nWe’ve got 4 distances for you to choose from 10K\, half marathon\, marathon and 50 km. A distance to suit everyone! \n\n\n\nThe idea of the day is to bring everyone together and to experience the fun of trail running in a fantastic forest. Being around others doing what seems impossible can often make it seem a lot more possible\, too!! If you want to come and run your personal best or bimble about with your mates\, we’ve got the perfect distance for you. \n\n\n\nWe’ve got very generous cut-off times\, too\, to try and remove some of those barriers to new people trying out the sport. \n\n\n\nWhere is it?\n\n\n\nSalcey Forest is a Forestry England site with a café and toilets near Northampton. Use the post code NN7 2HX for Sat Navs . It is here on What 3 Words. \n\n\n\nYou do have to pay to park (between £4-£8 at the time of writing). That said\, be a hero and car share\, save money and the world! \n\n\n\nThe number 33 bus stops inside Salcey Forest (just after 9am) and goes between Northampton and Milton Keynes (check for Sunday times) \n\n\n\nIt is 18 minutes from Northampton and 9 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. The closest train station is Northampton. \n\n\n\nCan I run with my dog?\n\n\n\nNot at these events. As the event is run under a UK Athletics/ Trail Running Association license there are no dogs allowed at any of the events. \n\n\n\nCourse description\n\n\n\nThe different routes are all on the specific event pages; however\, they all use similar sections of the forest. \n\n\n\nThe majority of the routes are along well-maintained pathways. There isn’t a meter of asphalt (except 2 road crossings for the longer events!)\, and the pathways are mainly crushed stone or very well-trodden open forest floor. Obviously\, being in the middle of a forest\, the narrower ones are covered in tree detritus and can become a bit muddy and grimy\, especially when wet. There are a few sections across the grassland. If we are experiencing a wet winter\, expect these to be muddy or waterlogged. Potentially very muddy and very waterlogged! \n\n\n\nPlan to do this event in trail shoes\, if it’s suitable for road shoes we’ve had a dry winter! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat does it cost?\n\n\n\nWe operate a tiered pricing approach. The earlier you enter\, the cheaper the event but never ever will you pay a booking fee! \n\n\n\n10K \n\n\n\n\nBefore 06/03/2025 £20\n\n\n\nAfter 06/03/2025 £25\n\n\n\n\nHalf Marathon \n\n\n\n\nBefore 06/03/2025 £35\n\n\n\nAfter 06/03/2025 £40\n\n\n\n\nMarathon \n\n\n\n\nBefore 06/03/2025 £50\n\n\n\nAfter 06/03/2025 £55\n\n\n\n\n50K \n\n\n\n\nBefore 06/03/2025 £60\n\n\n\nAfter 06/03/2025 £70\n\n\n\n\nUnaffiliated entrants pay £2 extra. Why not join your local running club or sign up the Big Bear Brigade and save 10% off entries for ever! If you had been on our Very Important Bear mailing list\, you could have saved 20% before the event was launched! \n\n\n\nCan I run as many laps as I want?\n\n\n\nNot at this event. This may seem an odd question to answer but given the majority of our events are 6 hour lapped events it’s one I’m sure people will have! \n\n\n\nWhat are the timings for each event?\n\n\n\n50 km \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Open – 07:00\n\n\n\nEvent Start – 08:00\n\n\n\n\nMarathon \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Open – 07:00\n\n\n\nEvent Start – 08:30\n\n\n\n\nHalf Marathon \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Open – 08:00\n\n\n\nEvent Start – 09:00\n\n\n\n\n10 km \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Open – 08:00\n\n\n\nEvent Start – 09:00\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I have a crew or pacers?\n\n\n\nYes and no. You can have crew\, they’re really helpful for more extended events but you cannot have pacers. To be clear\, that means no-one can run with you or walk alongside you for any period of time except in the final 100m. \n\n\n\nWe actively encourage spectators and supporters\, but they must not move along the trail with you. They can pop up all over the course though – or just stay in the cafe all day”! \n\n\n\nThere is a large grass area near the HQ that can be used to put a gazebo up if your team\, club\, or supporters wish to. Just let us know beforehand if you plan to do this. \n\n\n\nAre there cut-offs?\n\n\n\nYes\, but they’re pretty generous! The cut-off for the event is 19:00. So for the 50 km event\, that means an 11-hour cut-off – 21min/mile pace. All other events have the same 19:00 cut-off – so that’s 10 hours to do the 10k! \n\n\n\nOur cut off’s aren’t mean to be punitive\, we just have to let volunteers and medics when they can go home! In the last 3 years\, only 1 person has been within 1 hour of an 11-hour cut-off on this course\, and they had about 30 minutes to spare. \n\n\n\nI’ve heard you do cupless events.\n\n\n\nThat’s right! Read all about how we do cupless events here \n\n\n\nIs there a mandatory kit?\n\n\n\nThis is different for different distances and strictly enforced for each piece of mandatory kit missing 1 hour will be added to your finish time. For 10k entrants\, there is no mandatory kit\, although a cup/bottle for water is strongly recommended. There are NO CUPS at this event. If you don’t carry a cup you cannot drink water! Half marathon entrants a cup/bottle capable of holding 200ml minimum is mandatory. Marathon & 50k entrants must have water carry capacity for 500ml minimum\, foil blanket\, waterproof jacket (with taped seams) and a charged mobile phone. These are mandatory minimum’s if you want to carry more or extra kit then please do so\, this is to make you safe not to make you run to your best ability. \n\n\n\nWhat if I need to withdraw?\n\n\n\nIt happens. Injuries\, life events… forgetting you’ve booked it! You can see our specific withdrawal policy for the TrailFest events here. They are a little different to our other events but still much better than most other events companies. I think they are fairer than most\, and as such\, they will be adhered to. \n\n\n\nHas the event been run before?\n\n\n\nYes! We’ve run at Salcey Forest many times in the past at TrailFest ran with great success last year for the first time too. You can read the reviews here \n\n\n\nI’m unsure what to expect at TrailFest?\n\n\n\nIt’s a great day of trail running in the forest. The format means it’s great for clubs and groups to support people doing varying distances\, and the generous cut-offs mean it’s great for those looking to increase their distances. Whatever your experience or ability we’ll do everything we can to support you for the day. \n\n\n\nWe’ve tried to make as much video content as possible so you can see what our events are like. Have a look at our YouTube channel. The key is that these events are for everyone. There is no such thing as too slow! \n\n\n\nWhat do I get when I finish?\n\n\n\nAll finishers will get one of the above medals. In addition\, finishers of the marathon and 50k distance will get a flapjack and a choice of Big Bear drink\, too. \n\n\n\nIs there a gpx of the route?\n\n\n\nThe routes can be found at the bottom of the page\, you can click on them to download the gpx. To be clear\, the course will be heavily marked on the day\, so the gpx files should only be necessary as a backup. \n\n\n\n
