Summary: A new family of distance-regular graphs is constructed. They are antipodal $2 ^{2 t-1}$-fold covers of the complete graph on $2 ^{2 t }$ vertices. The automorphism groups are determined, and the extended Preparata codes are reconstructed using walks on these graphs. There are connections to other interesting structures: the graphs are equivalent to certain generalized Hadamard matrices; and their underlying 3-class association scheme is formally dual to the scheme of a system of linked symmetric designs obtained from Kerdock sets of skew matrices in characteristic two.
