Dunstable Town Mayor Cllr. Liz Jones said: “I wish to thank all those that took part, the runners, the walkers, the course marshals, family, and friends that supported the event together with the many local businesses with supporting sponsorship – but we couldn’t have done it without the superb organisation by the Dunstable Road Runners.”

After the five-mile main event, there was a fun run/walk that took place around the Dunstable Town Football pitch. Offering a great opportunity for children & families to join in, a fully accessible route for wheelchairs and single buggies. All children received a bespoke badge from the Town Mayor.
