Organiser's Description

DON'T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO RUN AT THIS OLYMPIC GOLD VENUE WITH ESTABLISHED COVID-SAFE MEASURES IN PLACE.

Set at the spectacular, flat and smooth-surfaced Dorney Lake near Windsor, the course takes you around the perimeter of the iconic water. Join hundreds of runners at one of the most successful venues for Team GB 2012, be motivated by those champions and go for your 5k, 10k or half marathon PB.

The legendary Eton Dorney, as Dorney Lake was called by London 2012, held 30 events throughout the Olympics and Team GB won a total of 12 medals. Soak up the atmosphere, get inspired and cross the finish line to receive your own Dorney Lake medal.

Along with your souvenir medal, a variety of revitalising snacks and drinks to kickstart your recovery awaits you at the finish line. Grab a finisher's photo on our podium before you leave and watch out for your result within hours of the race.

Due to Dorney Lake capacity and ensuring a great, safe race experience, places are limited. Enter online now to guarantee entry.

The Dorney Lake course is nestled amongst 450 acres of glorious parkland which includes an Arboretum and Nature Conservation area whilst being just a few miles from Windsor and a short drive from Heathrow airport and west London. Parking is free for Purple Patch Dorney Lake Half Marathon, 10K and 5K participants.
