Off Court Lane, Eton College Rowing Centre, Dorney, Windsor, Berkshire SL4 6FJ
Our Superheroes deserve an epic setting & we’ve found just the place. Home of the 2012 Paralympic & Olympic rowing events, Dorney Lake’s level gradient & closed tarmac roads make it a natural choice for our unique Series. There’s plenty of on-site parking & set in 450 acres of scenic parkland, it’s a rather lovely day out. Parking & entry are free of charge, & spectators are very welcome.
Dorney Lake is within easy reach of London, Heathrow Airport, the M4 corridor & the M3, M25 and M40 motorways.
Exit at Junction 15 of the M25 & follow signs to Slough
Exit at Junction 7 of the M4 & follow slip road to roundabout
Turn left onto A4 towards Maidenhead
After traffic lights turn left at roundabout onto B3026, signposted for Dorney & Eton

Kit drop & parking
We will have a very high number of blue badge holders at our event and will not be able to park everyone near the hub, but we will work hard to prioritise. We have a kit drop area for Superheroes and their kit behind Mission HQ, so do take advantage of this.
The parking Sidekicks will be able to direct you to it. You will be met at the kit drop by Sidekicks who will help you with your kit. There is also a shuttle bus service running between the parking areas and the hub for those who want it. Parking is free of charge.
