The legendary Silverstone Formula One™ circuit stands as a landmark in motorsport history. Dubbed the “Home of British Motor Racing,” it was the venue for the very first World Championship Grand Prix in May 1950 and has celebrated seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton's impressive nine victories at the British Grand Prix. Here’s your opportunity to race on this historic track. The Silverstone Run Fest will invite participants to run on the renowned circuit, featuring famed corners such as Maggots, Becketts, and Chapel. Taking place this November, the event is open to all: runners, walkers, joggers, and families. Feel the exhilaration as you tackle a half marathon, a 10k, a 5k, or the Family Mile on the same track that has witnessed Formula One legends like Hamilton, Schumacher, and Senna. Located in central England, Silverstone is easy to access by car, bus, and train. There is plenty of accommodation nearby, from well-known hotel chains to local bed and breakfasts. On-site, motorsport fans can enjoy the Silverstone Experience Museum and take part in guided tours of the celebrated racing track.
