The Oakley 20 hoodie will be available to finishers only and will be available for collection from the race headquarters after the completion of the race. You will need your race number to collect your hoodie. When you register for the race, you will be asked to select the size of hoodie you require. When you collect your hoodie, you will be given the hoodie of the size you chose at registration only. No dialogue will be entered into on the subject. If you decide you require another size hoodie, neither the Oakley 20 organisers or Bedford Harriers are able to source another size. For registrations after 6th March 2023 it will not be possible to select the desired size of hoodie. We will have a selection of the iconic hoodie sizes available and do our utmost to accommodate all finishers with the appropriate size.
