Your timing chip will be attached to the bottom of your race bib and needs to be attached to your shoe as per the instructions on the back of the chip. Please make sure you keep your number on at all times during the race. At the finish, you can dispose of your chip (we do not need to collect them back).

During the race

There will be marshals all around the course and you will see mile markers in the form of black signs for the half marathon, and red KM signs for the 5k & 10k as well as arrows to direct you.

The course consists of laps around the lake and will involve 1 lap for the 5k, 2 laps for the 10k and 4 laps for the Half Marathon.

If you need to overtake on the course please be sure to take a wide berth around the runner in front.

Travel

Address: Dorney Lake, Windsor We highly recommend using What3Words to find the exact locations of:

Parking: Free parking is available at Dorney Lake and will be signposted as you enter the venue.

Please bear in mind there could be up to a 20-minute walk to registration depending upon which car park you find yourself in so we advise you to leave plenty of time for arrival.

The main event car park is at the Boathouse (next to the event village), not at the top of the lake where you enter.

Cars will drive down from the main entrance towards the boathouse, and will directly turn back on themselves at a mini roundabout and park facing the exit, using a one way system. This system will be managed by parking stewards and we’ll also ensure there is clear way-finding signage on the day.

Please be aware, from the main entrance to the car park it is just over a mile walk.

Please follow the directions of the marshals to the car park by the boathouse as this will ensure a short walk to the event village.

Nearest Train stations: Slough and Windsor & Eton Riverside

Getting Here by Bicycle

The park is easily accessible by bicycle. Cycle parking is available in the park.
