An event for ALL ages and abilities ~ Years 3 to Years 11
The Eighth Bedford Junior AQUATHLON is aimed at offering young people the opportunity to take part in a fun, exciting and well organised sports event. Participants may be inspired by the event and wish to take part in other races. They may wish to develop their swimming or running further at a local club. However, above all, we hope that everyone enjoys the event and has fun taking part.
We wish to attract participants that have never taken part in anything like this before as well as young people who may already belong to a local swimming or running club.
The event will take place alongside an official British Triathlon registered senior event so that we can use their expertise and staffing and so that junior participants can see where they might move onto in years to come.

The phenomenally successful saga continues with Bella facing her greatest challenge yet.
Released in 2008, ‘Twilight’ launched Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as the decade’s hottest screen couple. Based on the bestselling books by Stephenie Meyer, the story continued with ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’. Bella (Kristen Stewart), although devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward (Robert Pattinson), found herself drawn to Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and his world of werewolves. And now, in ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between Edward and Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life…
