Lacock Road Races | Half, 10km, 5km & 1km - 26th June 2022

The name Lacock dates from Saxon times when the earliest permanent settles lived by the Bide Brook which runs through the middle of the village. They called it lacuc, or 'little stream'.

The medieval landscape was dominated by Melksham Forest which came right up the village and stretched for 33 miles to the south and east. Settlement began around the church, reflected in the irregular line of Church Street, but the rest is a medieval planned town, deliberately laid out on a grid of the other streets which can be seen today. There is much to see and enjoy once the events have finished!

This is a fully CLOSED ROADS event taking in the tranquil and picturesque lanes of the Wiltshire countryside and through the historic streets of Lacock itself. It is an ideal race for the first time runner and you can expect to post a good time on this flat course. The 10km and Half Marathon route officially measured accurate routes.
