Never run before but fancy taking on the Doug Anderson 5k? We’ve got you! 🏃‍♀️🏃

The Bedford Harriers Beginners Group is starting next week and it’s perfect if you’re brand new to running.

No experience needed. No judgment. Just friendly support to help you go from zero to 5k at your own pace.

If you’ve been thinking _“I’d love to do the Doug Anderson 5k but I can’t run yet”_ – this is for you. Our training is aimed to have you ready to complete the event with your fellow beginners.

📍 Starts next week with Bedford Harriers

Good luck to everyone tackling a marathon this month, and well done to all those who've already completed one! 👏 Whether it’s your first 26.2 or your fiftieth, your dedication inspires us all.

Need a shorter race to keep the momentum without the marathon mileage? The Doug Anderson 5K is the ideal next step, giving you race-day buzz without the long recovery. Perfect for a victory lap, a shake-out run, or chasing a 5K PB while you’re still marathon-fit. Flat, fast, friendly, and a great way to enjoy racing again with fresher legs.

We had a fantastic time yesterday volunteering at our much-loved Oakley 20 race.

If you took part, we hope you enjoyed it and are recovering well!

If you'd like to enjoy that amazing support again but on a much shorter distance (and hopefully in much warmer weather!) enter the Doug Anderson 5k taking place on 22nd July!

We had an incredible day welcoming 649 runners to the this morning 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

20 miles of perseverance, tenacity, strength — and so many personal achievements out on the course today. What a day!

Can you join us in giving a huge thank you to our 140 amazing volunteers 💛🖤
Quite simply, this event doesn’t happen without them.
From marshals to water stations, HQ to finish funnel — they were all brilliant.
