Step into Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens
Exclusive access to Leonardslee
Take on a stunning 5km or 10km run at the stunning Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens in spring, summer or autumn/winter.
This is an exclusive experience in a venue not normally open to running!
Run in stunning landscapes, including award-winning gardens and ancient woodland. Take in incredible sculptures, lakes & wildlife along the way.
How it works
The running
Starting at around 9am, the 10km running route will take in two laps of Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens.
If you want to stop after 5km there is an easy drop-out point for a less challenging experience.
Routes are mainly off-road with a mixture of gravel paths and grass fields, with the occasional road section thrown in. They are challenging but are designed so as to explore the best parts of the venue including the lakes and woodland gardens.
