Registration is free and everyone must register through the above website before participating. However, once registered you will not need to register ever again and can decide which parkrun you want to attend without notifying the organisers. Please do not forget to bring your barcode to every event (which you receive upon registering)
Prizes and awards and other incentives to help motivate and rewards for your efforts in participating either as a runner or as a volunteer.
If you are just starting out in running or 'general' fitness and need support and advice please contact us as we may be able to provide you with the information that you are looking for such as clubs and groups to join, individual coaches' contact details, run kit etc.
Bedford parkrun prides itself in having an Events Director (also a sports coach, PE teacher) who has the knowledge, skills and expertise to provide invaluable support to disabled athletes and adult / junior beginner runners.
We do not discriminate on any level and welcome everyone from all communities.
We meet at 9am by the band stand for the briefing and then it is a short walk to the start line.
