Running GP Bedford Autodrome August 2026

Join us for the Bedford Autodrome 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, 16 Mile, 20 Mile and Marathon

Run on a world-class motor racing circuit designed by former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer. Bedford Autodrome delivers silky-smooth tarmac, wide turns and a completely traffic-free course. Expect clear wayfinding, precise chip timing and the perfect setting to chase a new personal best.
