Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, TOWCESTER. NN12 8TN
Voted one of the best events in the UK by runners in the independent RaceCheck Awards in 2019, step onto the hallowed tarmac of one of the greatest F1 circuits in the world this October.
At Run Silverstone you’ll be following in the footsteps (tyre prints!?) of legends - not just stepping out onto the iconic track but speeding your way around it and experiencing Stowe Corner, Vale, and Hangar Straight for yourself!
An event for everyone - whether a runner, a jogger, a jeffer, or you just want to walk the distance - choose from a Half Marathon, 10K or 5K and go for a PB, or just for the vibes.
Please note that Silverstone Circuits Ltd policy requires any entrant under 18 years of age to attend with a responsible adult.
Following the relaxation of covid restrictions we are pleased to welcome the return of the Family Mile, a unique opportunity for everyone in the family to step foot on the hallowed tarmac and experience one of the greatest F1 circuits with their own two feet!
Run Silverstone is an exciting opportunity to channel your training and enjoy one of the best surfaces on which you’ll ever move; and to get this legendary course ticked off your list!
The Family Mile will finish prior to the start of the main categories for participants that wish to take part in both. All participants must wear a bib whilst participating, either by registering for the Family Mile or by wearing the bib provided for their entry into one of the main categories. It is not necessary to enter both. Buggies (or similar) are permitted for children under 5, children under 11 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Event merchandise is available for purchase during registration.
