London to Brighton Mini Run

The London to Brighton Run will be held on June 2 2013. The event is one of the oldest and longest lasting runs in the UK. It is hosted by the London & Surrey Mini Owners Club. This starts at the Crystal Palace Park outside of London and ends at Brighton Beach. I did this run back in June of 2009 and got a Guiness World Record Placque for being part of it. We had 1450 Minis that qualified and met the requirements. There were some 3000 Minis in attendence.

This is primarily a classic Mini run, but they do allow adn welcome new MINIs.

For those Mini enthusiasts that might be visiting the UK this summer it is definitely a run not to miss. For those that will be there please post photos and comments.

After the parade and ceremony through Crystal Palace Park, we are all let loose to drive the some 50 miles to Brighton Beach. There is no set route so you just follow other Minis that are flying the L2B green flags as they buzz through the countryside and small towns. Then as you crest the hill and look down on Brighton Beach you will see the thousands of Minis parking along the beach. It's an amazing sight and the fun continues with some very modified Minis on display.
