The Golden Ball 20 Miles & Riverside 10 Mile offers runners a friendly, fast, and scenic experience along Lancaster’s riverside paths. Starting at the George & Dragon, the course uses flat, well‑maintained routes around the district, making it perfect for marathon preparation or for runners wanting a longer summer challenge.

The 20‑mile event provides both a medal and a T‑shirt for all finishers, while the 10‑mile race awards a medal to every participant. Prizes are given to the top three male and female athletes. With supportive marshals and a welcoming atmosphere, this event is a popular part of the Lancaster Race Series.
