Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean I need a Navigator?

As part of the heritage and fun of the run the route pack that is issued on the day contains the direction instructions which need to be read one at a time and marry up to the distance you have travelled.  Therefore we highly recommend a navigator, although following the one in front can also work.

For 2024 we will be doing the route guides slightly differently and will have a digital route map available. 

​

How much does it cost?

It's free to pre-booked club members.

Non member prices for 2024 will remain at £5 donation in advance with £10 on the day.

There is no charge for public viewing.

​

I’ve not yet received my ticket? 

Tickets for 2024 are not yet available watch out here and on Facebook for release dates.

 

Do I need to pay ULEZ?

If you are planning on starting from Fairlop Waters Please make sure your vehicle is either exempt or you are paying the ULEZ fee. 

We have a second start outside of the ULEZ zone at North Weald Airfield Museum to allow those who are required to pay ULEZ charge the option to enjoy 80% of the run ULEZ free.

The Club takes no responsibility for any penalties of fines generated from or on the day of the London to Southend Run.  

 

I’ve forgotten to book can I still turn up? 

The entry closing date for 2024 is Monday 10th July 2024. If you turn up on the day you might be able to sign up but that will depend on ticket sales, on the Day £10 Charity donation.

 

I did the run last year is it the same this year?

We mix the route up year on year, you will recognise some of the route from last year, but it will be different.

 

What do I do if we get lost?

As you go through the route instructions some feature Pub and road names, alternatively all our runs travel through Battlesbridge so you can aim for there to put you back on route.  for 2024 we will have a digital route map.

​

The run is more distance than my Vintage vehicle covers in a year and I’m not sure it will make the distance.  When registering you can elect to go straight to Southend and form up.

​

I’m coming with a group can we park together?

In order to do this, you will need to arrive together so you may want to form up somewhere along the front towards the end of the run. (if booked in advance we may be able to accommodate clubs)

​

Where Can I view the run?

Cars arrive at Fairlop Waters from around 08:00 further details on the second start location and Southend location will be provided after we release the dates. and on route locations will be nearer the time of the run.
