In 2024, we took the Bedford Half Marathon to the next level, adding fresh excitement and new challenges to this growing tradition. The route was revamped, offering participants a more scenic journey through the breathtaking landscapes of our surrounding farms. The combination of tar and gravel roads remained, but the flatter, less demanding course was a welcome change for many runners.

Once again, the Kelston Motor Group stepped in with their unwavering support, sponsoring the event and ensuring its success. Their partnership has been instrumental in helping us create a memorable experience for participants and the Bedford community alike.

The beloved Adelaide Round Table brought their signature energy to the beer and festive watering point, while additional water points were introduced along the 21km route to keep runners refreshed and motivated. The relay option and the 8km fun run/walk continued to attract a fantastic mix of participants, making the event accessible and enjoyable for all.

Adding even more excitement to the 2024 marathon was a generous sponsorship from MSC, offering a cruise for two from Durban as a grand prize. Every participant was automatically entered into the draw, and the lucky winner walked away with an unforgettable adventure to look forward to.

The 2024 Bedford Half Marathon was another resounding success, blending scenic beauty, community spirit, and thrilling surprises. We can’t wait to see what the next event will bring!
