About the Event

The George and Dragon (Riverside) Half Marathon and 10k takes place on Sunday, August 1st, 2027, starting at 11:00 AM from the historic George & Dragon pub in Lancaster. This scenic race offers runners a unique blend of urban charm and picturesque landscapes along the River Lune.
Participants will experience a course that winds through the heart of Lancaster before venturing into quieter residential areas and alongside tranquil riverside paths. The half marathon route includes sections on both flat roads and gentle inclines, providing a balanced challenge for all levels of runners. Similarly, the 10k event offers a condensed version of this scenic journey.
One key feature of these races is their commitment to safety and engagement with the community. As parts of the course traverse busy streets, headphones are strictly prohibited during the race to ensure that participants remain aware of their surroundings and can respond quickly to instructions from marshals and volunteers.
The event promises a lively atmosphere, with spectators lining the route to cheer on runners as they pass by historic landmarks and beautiful river views. Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply enjoying the run, this half marathon and 10k offer an unforgettable experience in one of England's most charming cities.
Participants are encouraged to arrive early at George & Dragon pub to soak up the pre-race excitement before setting off on their journey through Lancaster.
