After a hugely successful recent launch, it's exciting to see the return of Mallard Cake Dash.
This inclusive event has been designed to allow every athlete to be challenged, rewarded and treated like a professional. At this event, regardless of your level, you are guaranteed to be pushed to your limits and feel like you have completed something to be proud of.
With a friendly atmosphere, all egos are left at the door. This event caters for absolute beginners through to experienced athletes, so whether you walk, jog or run and regardless of your pace you are welcome. If you haven't taken part before then you really are in for a treat and the Mallard Cake Dash will not disappoint.
This event is not one to be missed. In conjunction with 'The Mallard' at Westwood Lakes this road race has already established itself in the local running scene as a 'must do'.
You're invited to join a road race of either 5km or 10km which will take you through picturesque Westgate Woods and Jenny's Wood. Each runner will have an enjoyable experience, medal, chip timing, cake and hot drink.
Come and join in and enjoy a run through the stunning countryside.
This event is part of Mallard Cake Dash.
Event HQ and the hub for this fantastic event will be 'The Mallard' located in the grounds of Westwood Lakes, a beautiful and peaceful location just on the outskirts of Boston. Registration will take place outside the entrance this year to aid with congestion.

Event HQ and the hub for this fantastic event will be 'The Mallard' located in the grounds of Westwood Lakes, a beautiful and peaceful location just on the outskirts of Boston.
Westwood Lakes boasts 7 fishing lakes and 30 luxury holiday lodges many of which runners will pass as they head out of the complex.
The Start/Finish line will be right outside the restaurant.
Please access Westwood Lakes from West End Road not Fen Road. This is due to the road closure on Five House Lane On approach, follow the Black/Gold signs directing you to the parking, where the big flags will be to show you the entrance to the car park along with the parking marshals.
Runners will start right outside the Mallard and head out off site. Westwood Lakes boasts 7 fishing lakes and 30 luxury holiday lodges many of which runners will pass as they head out of the complex. Heading left all runners will head into Jennys Woods first before crossing the road and running around Westgate Woods.
All running will be on tarmac so no need to dig the trail shoes out, this run promises to be as scenic as it is fast. Once runners get to the end of the woods section the 5K will head back onto the site through the service entrance and retrace their route from the start of the race.
It is at this point the 10K race will head out on the road section of the race. As always all these races will not have a cut-off allowing everyone to thoroughly enjoy the experience whether they run, jog or walk without any pressure.

Really great run the start of the race warm up was very inspiring. Jason G
Was a really great first event here. I would definitely sign up for another next year! Sharon B
What can I say, the Battenberg cake was outstanding! Oh, the race, a fantastic local race with ample close parking, clear pre-race instructions and well marked out course with a mix of road, woods and lakes. Nice looking medal and, as promised cake and a drink at the end, did I mention how good the cake was? 😋 bring on the 2024 mallard cake dash 👍 Clive W
Fabulous event! The usual high standard of organisation and course makers that we have come to expect from Trident. Lovely atmosphere, fab course - cake was amazing 😊. I hope this becomes a regular fixture. Rose R
Great atmosphere, not too busy, fabulous cake at the end. The course was good with out and back section getting half the distance done before the wood bit for contrast. Nice medal. Jo B
The race was very well organised, signposted and friendly. Added bonus of cake and coffee at the end. I will definitely be running it again. Mike G
A truly lovely 5k route through the woods. Really friendly atmosphere. The medal and cake were amazing and it was a really nice touch to have a cake and coffee token for each finisher. Mel W
