Run Dorney Lake - October

Experience the thrill of running along Dorney Lake, the picturesque venue that hosted rowing events during the London 2012 Olympics. Situated near the village of Dorney in Buckinghamshire, this purpose-built lake offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere for runners seeking to achieve their personal bests.
Participants can choose from three distances: a challenging Half Marathon, an invigorating 10k run, or a scenic 5k course. Each route is meticulously designed with flat terrain that provides ideal conditions for setting new records. The race starts at 9:10 am across all distances, ensuring runners have plenty of daylight to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
For those tackling the Half Marathon, expect four laps around Dorney Lake's perimeter, complete with a U-turn midway through each lap. This distance offers ample opportunity to push your limits while taking in breathtaking views of the lake and its lush greenery. The 10k route consists of two laps, allowing runners to experience the scenic beauty twice without feeling overwhelmed by the longer distance.
The shorter yet equally rewarding 5k course features a single loop around Dorney Lake, providing an excellent option for those looking to test their speed or join in with family and friends. Each lap is designed to be flat and straightforward, making it easy to focus on your pace while enjoying the picturesque views.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best time or simply out for a leisurely run amidst stunning surroundings, Dorney Lake offers an unforgettable race experience that captures both the spirit of competition and the joy of running in one of Britain's most iconic venues.
