Run Dorney Lake, 8 November 2026
Run Dorney Lake is a road race at Dorney Lake, near the village of Dorney in Buckinghamshire. The event offers timed races around the purpose-built rowing lake on flat, tarmac paths. Distances available are:
- 5k
- 10k
- Half Marathon
Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag drop. The half marathon is run over multiple laps with a small elevation gain; the 10k and 5k use the same lakeside tarmac routes. Route details note lap counts and modest elevation change for each distance.
Event logistics note free parking at Dorney Lake with signposting to car parks; some parking locations require a walk to registration. Cycle parking is available. Race packs are not posted; they are collected at the event village on the day and require booking confirmation and photo ID. A secure baggage marquee, portaloo facilities and water provision are available on course and at the finish. There is a water station roughly halfway on the 5k lap and a bottle of water at the finish.
Spectators are welcome and may bring dogs on a short lead within the event village. Buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are permitted but should be mindful of other competitors. An optional event t-shirt is offered through the organiser. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
