Inspired by the overwhelming success and heartwarming community feedback from our inaugural event, De Oude Fabreeck proudly hosted the 2nd annual Bedford Half Marathon in 2023. This year’s event saw an exciting increase in participants, bringing even more color, energy, and joy to the streets of our small town.

A special highlight of the 2023 marathon was the invaluable support from the Kelston Motor Group. Their generous sponsorship of the start and finish areas not only added a professional touch to the event but also played a pivotal role in ensuring its continuation. Kelston Motor Group’s unwavering commitment to our community is deeply appreciated, and their partnership makes it possible for us to host memorable events like this.

With participants donning vibrant outfits and the atmosphere buzzing with excitement, the 2023 Half Marathon proved to be even more festive than the first. The combination of scenic routes, fun-filled camaraderie, and dedicated community spirit has firmly established this event as a beloved tradition in Bedford.
