GP Bedford Autodrone 

This brand new track was designed from scratch by former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer and the course is made up of a 5km lap inside the Bedford Autodrone. Ashton Marshall took full advantage of this fast and flat course and earned himself a personal best 10km time of 45min and 23 secs. It was a big weekend for Ashley Bates, who, after his celebratory ParkRun on Saturday, then ran a marathon in Bedford on Sunday 4th Aug. Ashley completed the 8 lap course in 5hrs, 3mins, 38secs.
