I managed at 25 min 39 sec fastest lap at the weekend as part of my 10k run as part of the Oulton Park Running Grand Prix.

I even managed negative splits in that my first full lap was a 25 min 40 sec.

A 10k run meant having to run from the finish line out to and back from the bridge across at the beginning.

Having never run a motor circuit it was an interesting experience. I am no runner so I would not go as far as to say it was fun.

Runthrough do some excellent events and also hold running events at Goodwood, Bedford Autodrome and Prestwold Hall.

I did the Silverstone half marathon as a warm up for London a (good) few years ago. One lap of the track proper and then the perimeter road. These race tracks look so flat on the TV, but they really aren’t!

Last Saturday, there was a run meet at Spa-Francorchamps. 1 lap of 7k, up to 6 laps for a marathon. The website is not very user friendly but if anyone is interested for future years, check out https://www.hardloop.events/nl-NL/events/spa-francorchamps-run/

I don't enjoy running, I am not good at it, but I would like to run Spa, the Nurburgring and up Ventoux. I would also like to run Le Mans but I seriously doubt that is possible.
