The power of Community in running

 

BOOK OUR 10 OR 20-MILE TRAINING RACE

The TWIN LAKES 10-mile and 20-mile race will prepare you for your half/marathon race experience without having to run on your own. You can enjoy the incredibly scenic, superfast, and traffic-free course through the stunning Milton Keynes countryside. Starting with a lap of the beautiful Willen South Lake and then following the picturesque River Ouzel all the way to Caldecotte Lake before heading back to Willen via the Grand Union Canal, you’ll never be far from the water! The course is multi-terrain with about 80% on cycle paths with some gravel paths and the remainder on the canal towpath.

This event usually take place on the 3rd Sunday of March.
