I have done this race 3 times and each time it has been excellently organised. The Marshalls are wonderful, bag drop super well organised and kudos to the race director who is particularly impressive.

The directions to the car parks were clearly visible well in advance which was a great help. The car park staff were very efficient too. The Marshals and water station staff were hugely supportive throughout the race. As one who loves running with music, I did wonder if the "No headphones or earphones" rule was a bit draconian, but now fully understand why it was absolutely necessary. The post race baggage and hoodie collection process was also very efficient. All in all, an excellently organised event. Well done Bedford Harriers.

A fantastic event and perfect timing for spring marathons. Great support from the marshalls and plenty of aid stations. My only bugbears are not enough toilets (only 1 indoor women's toilet!) and no discount if you opt-out of the hoodie (there are only so many hoodies one person needs!). But otherwise top job Bedford Harriers!

It was really well organised. The marshals and volunteers at the water stations were all great, and the hoodie is worth the entry price alone. I've been to gigs and paid more for far shoddier quality garments. The situation at the car park was mildly chaotic, it seemed the marshals there were a little overwhelmed with traffic, but we got parked on the verge and made it to HQ in plenty of time. That's more of an observation than a complaint, it definitely wouldn't put me off entering again. It's how much my legs presently hurt that'd do that.

Threw myself into the deep end with this being my first ever race, in preparation for marathon training so I don’t have much to refer it to but I thought it was a great experience! Clear off the bat that it was less of a fun run and more challenging than I anticipated but I really enjoyed the atmosphere and thought the marshals were great, on hand with the water! As people say, I think a few more toilets and support for after the race would’ve been good but absolutely love the Hoodie. Would do again!

It was my first time doing this event but it was recommended to me. It didn’t disappoint! It’s a fantastic, although tough 20 mile event. Fantastic scenic course with lovely Marshalls and event staff. Logistically it couldn’t have been easier or better organised (and enough toilets, which is always a win for me!!), which helps take the stress out of the actual running! Highly recommended if you fancy a day out in the Bedfordshire countryside!!

Enjoy this event. Love the hoodie. Marshalls were friendly and supportive. Generally a great event but just a couple of minor things that could be improved. Toilets at the start. Lacking a bit in numbers and only a few had toilet paper. No sign of anyone replenishing them at...

Enjoy this event. Love the hoodie. Marshalls were friendly and supportive. Generally a great event but just a couple of minor things that could be improved. Toilets at the start. Lacking a bit in numbers and only a few had toilet paper. No sign of anyone replenishing them at that stage. 1.5 loops around the field is really not a nice way to start a 20m road race. Rolling ankles, wet feet and congestion passing slower folk on the second lap.
