Bedford Harriers Athletic Club

---------------- est. 1985 ------------------

Project 40

To celebrate our 40^th Anniversary, the Club is setting all members a challenge - how many race miles can you clock up in 2025? The latest leaderboard is here.

This challenge runs throughout 2025 to encourage Club members to race and to be rewarded for achieving total distance targets that include the number 40. All races that are recorded throughout the calendar year on your runners page will count towards one of three awards (see below). This includes parkruns, 3 Counties Cross-Country (allocated a standard distance of 5 miles), the run element(s) of a multisport event, the Club 5km time trials and the Charity Mile. Only events recorded on your runners page will be included.

The more miles you race, the higher the award you will receive at next year’s Awards Night. The challenge is called Bedford Harriers Project 40 as it has three levels, all involving the number 40. The three categories are:

Award Level	Total Distance Raced in 2025	Average Distance Raced per month
Platinum	644 km (400 miles)	53.6 km (33.3 miles)
Gold	400 km (249 miles)	33.3 km (20.7 miles)
Silver	240 km (149 miles)	20 km (12.4 miles)
Bronze	140 km (87 miles)	11.6 km (7.2 miles)

What do you need to do to take part?

All you need to do is run races, parkruns and Club timed events as normal and ensure that they are recorded on your runners page. Please note, as with any of our Awards, you are responsible for letting us know about your runs, especially those that are not local. To add an event to your Runners Page, please complete this form. As long as the results are on your Runners Page, we’ll do the rest!
