Decided to sign up for this as part of my marathon training. A friend had run here before and told me how flat and beautiful it was so I decided to give it a go. How can you not run in a place that was so iconic during the 2012 Olympics!
When we arrived, parking was easy. Other events were running there on the day and we were told not to arrive before a certain time to ensure there was enough parking. Once the time arrived, we were allowed in. We got parked quickly and registration wasn't a problem.
There was slightly staggered starts due to it being 5km, 10km or half marathon distance going on. This all ran smoothly and it was great to get moving. This race was in laps around Dorney Lake and for the most part had fantastic views of the shimmering lake. There was support around the lake especially at either end.
It is a fast course and a good place to go for a PB. It was brillant to get a Costa and the end to warm me up. I will be back next year!
