Last year's Road Run The 2018 event is to take place on Sunday 22 April 2018 At present we are waiting to hear from the Northstowe planners as to whether we can use the old airfield road, However even if we have to change the route we will still need a group of motorcycle marshals to get us round safely and on time.
