London Marathoners. Nearly there!

Hopefully your taper has gone well since the Oakley 20 and everything is ready for Sunday.

For many of you, Sunday will be the biggest thing you’ve ever done as a runner. But every runner started somewhere.

If anyone watching you cross that finish line feels inspired to give running a go, send them our way!

Bedford Harriers’ annual Beginners Group starts on Monday 27 April — the day after London. It’s designed for people who are new to running, returning after a break, or just wondering if they could actually do this.

No pressure — just a friendly group, a structured programme, led by Helen and Mark, who know what it’s like to be a beginner and a marathon runner.

📅 Intro talk: Monday 27 April, 6:30pm. First session: Wednesday 29 April, 6:30pm.

📍 Bedford International Athletics Stadium, Barkers Lane, MK41 9SB

🆓 First month completely free

Whether their goal is a parkrun, a 10K, or simply feeling better — this group is for them.
