The accurately measured 5K follows a fast two-and-a-half lap course on wide asphalt paths, passing mature trees, a lake, bandstand and café, making it an excellent choice for runners targeting a personal best or taking on the distance for the first time.
Incorporating the Bedfordshire AAA 5K County Championships, the race attracts both competitive club runners and recreational participants.
