Mallard Cake Dash
The Mallard Cake Dash is a road race organised by Trident Sports Events at Westwood Lakes in Boston, Lincolnshire. The event offers two measured distances on mainly traffic-free paths around the lakes.
- 5 km
- 10 km
The course is described as flat and scenic, with clear course markings and friendly marshals. There are no cut off times and walkers are encouraged, so participants can run or walk at their own pace. Finishers receive a quality Trident medal, a slice of cake and a drink.
The event has attracted growing entry numbers. It sold out in 2024 with 350 runners and in 2025 with 450 runners. Capacity was increased to 500 places for 2026 and organisers expect another sell out based on previous years.
The Mallard Cake Dash aims for a calm and supportive race day atmosphere with practical race features such as marked routes and supportive marshals. The flat, largely traffic-free route may suit runners seeking a quick time as well as people who want a relaxed community event with food and a finishers medal.
