Looking to set yourself a challenge for 2024?  Join Team brainstrust as we take on some fantastic events across the Bedford Running Festival Weekend. 

Welcome to the Bedford Running Festival, where it is all about choice.  Choose from the 5km or 10km on Saturday 7th September or take on the Half Marathon or 20 mile race on Suunday 8th September 2024.

See Bedford like you never have before. Take to the streets for any of the events  before being welcomed across the finish line at sunset to our post-race, festival party. Get your stretch on at one of our free yoga classes then grab a beer and some street food and party to live music from local Bedford musicians while the sun sets over the stunning Embankment and river area of the town.

Our Team brainstrust charity spaces are limited and going quickly, so sign up today!

All that we ask is that you commit to a minimum fundraising target of £100 for the 5k or 10k races, £125 for the Half Marathon and £150 for the 20 mile race. Your fantastic fundraising efforts will ensure that every step you take supports the brain tumour community in feeling less afraid, less alone and more in control.

Please note: A £15 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place. This will contribute towards your fundraising total.
