The Bedford Running Festival welcomed over 3,000 runners to Russell Park in Bedfordshire, hosting running events from 5K runs to half marathons.

Speaking about the event Jessica, a member of the team, said:

"I am definitely not a runner, so this felt like a real achievement! Special shout out to my teammate Aqib Abbas who ran alongside me and we crossed the finish line together."

Jessica added:

"We have also passed our target and raised a brilliant £210, which will be used to create a family room at a group of Supported Living houses in Bedford.”

A huge thank you to the team from PragmatiQ Solutions!
