Test Track 10 Mile
The Test Track 10 Mile is a 10-mile race held at Ford's Dunton site in Basildon, Essex. It begins and ends at the Ford Britain Trust's Dunton Headquarters. The primary appeal is straightforward: participants run on the actual Ford Test Track, a private automotive testing facility not typically open to the public. The event also includes a 10K and a Fun Run, catering to various running abilities. The course provides runners with a largely traffic-free route around an active automotive facility. The use of a test track adds a unique challenge compared to standard road races. Spectators gain unusual access to sections of the Ford site normally off-limits. The race, organized by Kerry Chambers, has a history of recent results across several editions and is associated with charitable causes.
