Marketing Manager - Bridge Classic Cars
The Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run has been an annual tradition since it first began in 1966. Since then, the event has raised more than £800,000 for multiple UK charities.
In October of this year, a range of classic Triumph cars, spanning from the 1950s to the 1980s, once again embarked on a mammoth journey across the UK. Their mission: to generate much-needed funds for the Huntington’s Disease Association, the sole national charity offering support to individuals and families affected by Huntington’s disease – a genetic condition impacting approximately 55,000 people in the United Kingdom. While there is no cure for this devastating condition, the charity provides invaluable support and information to those grappling with the disease.
Starting at Knebworth House on Friday, October 6th, the drivers headed in a northerly direction, en route to John O’Groats where they could enjoy Saturday breakfast. They then took a southern course to Lands End for breakfast on Sunday morning, before concluding the epic journey back at Knebworth House on Sunday, October 8th. This incredible journey spanned roughly 2,000 miles, all covered in just 48 hours, showcasing the endurance (and reliability) of these classic cars.
There are several checkpoints that drivers need to pass through during the Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run. These are staffed by dedicated Club Triumph marshals in England, Scotland, and Wales, all in the pursuit of raising funds for charity. Over the last three decades, the Round Britain Reliability Run has supported various national charities, raising over £800,000 for well-known organisations like the RNLI, BLISS, MNDA, and Guide Dogs. In 2022 alone, the event managed to raise over £110,000 for the MNDA.
