2026 Dorney Lake Marathon
The Dorney Lake Marathon is a flat, fast road loop around London 2012's Olympic rowing lake near Windsor, UKA-certified for Boston and GFA. The course is a paved, fully traffic-free loop tracking up and down the lake on smooth tarmac, with a turnaround on each lap, and only about 54m of total ascent.
Set against the exposed, wind-swept expanse of Dorney Lake, this September marathon offers a flat, traffic-free course with crisp autumn air — perfect for a personal best. When you're not running, explore Windsor Castle's royal history or wander the Thames path, then warm up with a hearty pub lunch and a pint in one of Dorney's charming riverside villages.
