Lacock Road Races
Organiser's Description
This is a fully closed road event taking in the tranquil and picturesque lanes of the Wiltshire countryside and the historic streets of Lacock itself. It is an ideal race for the first time runner, and you can expect to post a good time on this flat course. The route heads out of town and over some lovely stone bridges over the river Avon. Beautiful country roads wind round to the hamlet of Reybridge, with lovely thatched roofed buildings lining the narrow streets. Half marathon, 10k, 5k, and 1k family fun run events.

There is a race specific event car park which costs £2 per car. Runners should not park in the National Trust visitor car park, which is reserved for Abbey visitors.
This event is suitable for buggy runners but please note there are a couple of narrow sections, including a raised footpath without a fence.

The 1km family fun run will be a lap course through Lacock Village. The minimum age to run unaccompanied is 8 years old. Children younger are welcome to run if they are accompanied by an adult who is over the age of 18.
