Event Overview
The Run Dorney Lake event takes place at the venue that hosted the London 2012 Olympic rowing competitions. Located near the village of Dorney in Buckinghamshire, the site features a purpose-built rowing lake surrounded by grounds that provide a scenic backdrop for road running.
The event offers three distinct distances on a flat road course:
- 5k: A single-lap course with 8 meters of elevation gain.
- 10k: A two-lap course with 15 meters of elevation gain.
- Half Marathon: A four-lap course featuring a U-turn on each lap and 27 meters of total elevation gain.
Participants receive chip-timed results and access to free race photography. The event includes an organized village area with various food and drink options, along with marshals stationed along the route to provide guidance. Each runner who completes their distance receives a unique themed medal and post-race refreshments from event partners.
Because of the flat nature of the terrain, the course is designed for those seeking to achieve personal best times. The venue is located within reach of London and provides a dedicated sporting environment away from public traffic. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
