Bedford Harriers would like to invite you and your club to
take part in the inaugural running of the Bedford Harriers Invitation 10k. This is to celebrate the opening the Marston
Vale Forest project’s new river route adjacent to Bedford’s Priory Country Park.
The route is comparatively flat, on good
quality cycle routes with excellent PB potential. The start is a few minutes walk away from the
Bedford International Athletic Stadium which will be the race HQ.
This invitation challenge has been extended to local clubs
encouraging them to compete against each other using a scoring system similar to
those applied to the Three Counties Cross Country League although this event
should be considered as a road race event, not a cross country race.
Scoring will be 1st = 1 point , 2nd = 2
points etc. with both men’s and ladies’ team prizes, and an overall team prize.
First man and first lady will also
receive prizes.
The men’s team to consist of the top 5 scoring men (2 must be
vets), ladies’ team to consist of the top 3 scoring women (1 to be a vet) plus a
combined score for the club. As with any
cross country you can enter as many athletes as you wish. This event will have a course measurement
certificate and every individual will receive an official time.
The race is open to all club members aged 15 years and
over.

reputed to be the old National Cross Country course, starting and finishing at
the Regional Sports Centre, Luton.
Run under UK Athletics rules and England Athletics permits, the
course is on Bridlepaths and footpaths and is quite fast, with a firm base of
brick or clinker with loose stones on top and some areas of earthen paths which
can get waterlogged in heavy rain, one big hill in the last kilometre.
There are six changing rooms
with eight showers in each, free parking, secure baggage store, refreshments,
good road and rail links, and although we are a charity/service organisation,
we have been told our events are well
organised and competitor friendly.
We attract runners from the
Midlands and South East, with a lot of runners from London.
You can enter on-line at
www.luton-north-stroke10k.co.uk or at www.runnersworld.co.uk or direct with entry form or
