Around 110 cars should pour into Blyth Services car park from 8.30pm on 3rd October.

The Round Britain Run is a 48-hour, 2,000 mile, non-stop drive from London to John O’Groats and back again organised by Club Triumph which raises money for charities

This year’s event is in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support and should raise around £65,000 over the one weekend.

Blyth Services is the first checkpoint in many as the cars head up to John O’Groats and then via Glasgow, back down through Wales to Land’s End and finally back to London.
