Test Track Ten Races

The Test Track Ten Races are St. Luke’s Hospice’s flagship running event organised annually in partnership with Ford Britain Trust and has been embraced by local runners since 2013. The event is once again hosted by Ford Britain Trust at their Dunton Headquarters in Laindon Essex, providing a unique, challenging and almost traffic-free running experience to participants with full access the actual Test Track that is otherwise inaccessible to the public. Spectators are also welcome and will have a unique opportunity to see areas of the Ford site normally prohibited to the general public. 

The Test Track Ten Races is a UKA licenced event with the following distances available on the day:  

10 mile (accredited and timed)  

10 km (accredited and timed) 

2.5 km Fun Run 

All participants who complete the 10 mile or 10 km race will receive their official running time and all participants who complete the 10 mile, 10 km or Fun Run course will receive a medal.  

The Test Track Ten Races are a much-loved event and have grown over the last 12 years. Fully accessible to casual and club runners, wheelchair users and walkers, entrants can enjoy the course location and its unique variety of lengths. Sport and activity should be accessible for all and the event is proud to be able to offer wheelchair users the opportunity to participate in all races. The courses are suitable for any form of wheelchair, however IPC-approved racing chairs or Race Runners are recommended.
