Run Dorney Lake - April

Experience the beauty and history of Dorney Lake, the venue for London's iconic 2012 Olympic rowing events, by participating in this scenic race. Situated near the picturesque village of Dorney in Buckinghamshire, Dorney Lake offers a flat course perfect for runners aiming to achieve personal bests over various distances.
The event features three challenging yet accessible options: a half marathon, a 10k run, and a shorter but equally engaging 5k route. All races start at the same time on April 3rd, 2027, providing participants with an opportunity to experience the lake's serene atmosphere together as they set off from the starting line.
For those tackling the half marathon distance, prepare for four laps around the lake, each lap ending in a U-turn. The terrain is flat and well-suited for chip-timed races, offering clear views of Dorney Lake’s stunning grounds throughout your run. With an elevation gain of just 27 meters over the course of the race, this event presents runners with a smooth yet engaging challenge.
The 10k route offers two laps around the lake, allowing participants to enjoy twice as much scenery and atmosphere in half the time compared to the half marathon. The terrain remains flat at an elevation gain of only 15 meters, ensuring that all runners can focus on their pace without worrying about significant changes in elevation.
The 5k distance provides a single lap around Dorney Lake, perfect for those looking for a shorter yet memorable experience. With just 8 meters of total elevation change and a flat terrain, this route is ideal for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike who want to embrace the beauty and tranquility of the lake’s surroundings.
Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply enjoying the stunning scenery, Dorney Lake Race offers an unforgettable running experience set against the backdrop of one of Britain's most historic sporting venues.
