An iconic venue, very flat and perfect to go for a PB. Not much support along the route but the marshals very friendly and make up for that.

Great event despite the rain. Lovely venue at Dorney Lake. Good, flat, simple course (2 laps for the 10k).

Did the Half Marathon in 2018

This is a multi lap half marathon. The course is flat and fast but is exposed so when windy you could really feel it. There is also a 5K and 10K race which is held and during the last lap caught up the bulk of the pack. The reason for the 4 stars on course and organisation was that their was little runners etiquette shown which made over taking difficult. In terms of atmosphere your running around the lake there are a few people at the finish line but this isn't a big city half. Its a good course if you are looking for a PB.

As always with RunUK this was a good one. They always provide great value for money and love that. I'm not looking for an event with all the fancy frills - just something that does the basics well and this was it :)

My first ever finisher's medal and it was a corker. The 10k was my first ever event and I loved it. The organiser's made everything feel so easy and really calmed my nerves. It is a great course and I can't believe I raced at an olympic venue. Big thumps up!

Only quarm for this one was that there weren't that many water stations but I'm sure that could be improved. Quite nice running around Dorney lake with people supporting and people on the lake. Very nice and cool too!

Did the Half Marathon in 2018

Ok, so a Half marathon is a BLOODY LONG WAY!!!! This was my first ever attempt and I had done absolutely ZERO TRAINING....this was a mistake! But the super volunteers and the fact my family came to watch made all the difference! It actually helped alot having laps as it really gave them a chance to support me...several times over! This spurred me along and turned what could have been a disaster day into a great one!

To compete at an Olympic Venue has always been a personal goal of mine. I had to get down to Dorney Lake and take on this fast and flat course. The post-race goodies and medal were the perfect end to a perfect day.

Would come back to this race as it's very well organised and the team are really friendly. Good support from volunteers along the way during a few low moments on the run really helped give me a boost and kept me going!

Can't say more other than it was just perfect. I only took on the 10k as I was trying to hit my PB and I am so glad that I managed to do it. A very friendly and well-organised event

Did the Half Marathon in 2018

This is just the perfect autumn run. The best bit for me is starting by the Eton College Rowing Centre and then speeding round a flat course. it was also so cool to run at a venue where so many great olympic athlete's have competed before.

Will B

Did the Half Marathon in 2018

This was my last event for 2018 and what a cracker it was. A great atmosphere and a really well-organised event. The most pleasing bit was that I managed to get my Half marathon PB for the year and I think that was due to the fast and flat course.

David K

This was just what I was looking for. It was well organised and a fast course. I think was great for beginners or expert runners as there where all levels of runners to follow and pace you which really helped me.
