Running in Wixams.
Wixams is a large planned new town under construction since 2007 on the former Elstow Storage Depot site, about 3 miles south of Bedford, with its own town/parish council (a separate civil parish since 2015, distinct from Wilstead where its first phase originally sat). Over 300 acres of parkland and lakes were built into the plan from former mineral workings.
Wixams doesn't have a running club of its own. The nearest is Bedford Harriers AC in Bedford, about 3.1 miles away — close enough for a regular session if you're happy to travel for it.
Wixams has its own parkrun, Wixams Town junior parkrun, every Saturday at 9am — free, timed, and open to anyone.
