BEDFORD — The anticipation has been building all week, and now it’s time for one of the most exciting traditions of race weekend: the Bedford Federal Savings Bank Limestone Capital Half Marathon Expo. This is where the energy, preparation, and spirit of the community all come together under one roof, creating an atmosphere that feels like the starting gun for everything still to come. The Expo takes place from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Downtown Depot in Bedford.
The Expo is where participants pick up their race bibs, load up their official bags with goodies, and take their first look at the course map. It’s the moment where all the talk about training, goals, and excitement finally feels real. When you walk into the Expo, you’re not just getting ready for a race — you’re stepping into a celebration of community spirit and shared accomplishment.
One of the highlights? The “Grab and Go” refreshment area. Stocked with cupcakes, doughnuts, yogurt, granola bars, bananas, cheese, nuts, and more, it’s like a festival buffet designed to keep participants fueled and smiling. Whether you’re a seasoned runner loading up for the miles ahead or a first-time participant looking for encouragement, the refreshment spread is a reminder that this event is as much about celebration as it is about competition.
Beyond bibs and snacks, the Expo offers something priceless: connection. Old friends reunite, new friendships are forged, and families come together to share in the excitement. Volunteers, sponsors, and participants swap stories, encouragement, and laughter, building a sense of community that makes the McIntyre Bros Limestone Capital Half Marathon 5K Family Fun Walk one of Bedford’s signature events.
And don’t forget — this is the best time to explore the race map, ask questions, and make those last-minute preparations. Whether you’re strategizing for the half-marathon, getting set for the 5K, or bringing your little ones or your pets to the Family Fun Walk, the Expo helps ensure everyone is ready to shine on race morning.
Bedford Federal Savings Bank wants to make sure the Limestone Half Marathon 5K Family Fun Walk Expo is more than a pit stop — it’s the heartbeat of race weekend! By the time you leave, you’ll feel the excitement pulsing through you, carrying you straight to the starting line on Saturday.
