Blues Foundation are delighted to announce an exciting new opportunity that sees us forge a charity partnership ahead of the Bedford Running Festival 2021!

After the 2020 edition was completed virtually due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Bedford Running Festival are hopeful of returning to normal operations this year and have announced the next festival will take place over the weekend of 4th & 5th September 2021.

Blues Foundation have agreed to closely align with Bedford Running Festival as both organisations continue to champion and promote mental and physical health and positive wellbeing through exercise.

All runners who officially represent Blues Foundation will receive an official running vest designed for the event. You can still fundraise for Blues Foundation if you already have a place, and those runners will have the opportunity to purchase a Blues Foundation running vest.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic causing numerous pitfalls, 2020 was a fantastic inaugural year for Blues Foundation and we are determined to continue our important impact across Bedfordshire in 2021 and beyond – but we need your help to do it!

The level of support and commitment from people within Bedfordshire to help those in need through our initiatives has been inspired, including our ABILITY Blues disability sport programme, a Christmas Foodbank Collection, technology donations to allow young people to access online learning and donating to provide meals for the vulnerable.

Funds raised through the Bedford Running Festival will ensure we can continue our offering and impact on many more lives within Bedfordshire.

An official Blues Foundation Runner will receive:

  • A limited edition Blues Foundation running vest designed especially for the event.

  • Fundraising support from Blues Foundation including social media promotion.

  • Access to Race Roster and their fundraising platform.

  • A Bedford Running Festival goodie bag.

Sponsorship and fundraising:

  • We ask all our runners to raise £500 in sponsorship to support our charity.
