The 39th Fleet Lions Classic Motorcycle Run and Concours will take place on Monday 4th May 2026
110 days until the Motorcycle Run and Concours
We look forward to welcoming you back for another incredible experience.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Our Classic Motorcycle Run is a great event for riders and spectators alike
Held on May Day Bank Holiday MONDAY 4th May 2026 starting in The Key car park at Elvetham Heath on the A323 Fleet to Hartley Wintney Road (postcode GU51 1HA) (///wallet.twinkling.bonkers). The event normally attracts well over 200 entrants with bikes ranging from the early 1900's to the later classics, with condition varying from untouched original to gleaming concours restoration. Riders come from far and wide around the South East to take part, as it has become a well established event in the enthusiasts calendar.
So if you have been before but not for the last few years or a virgin in the classic bike world, come and join us for our 39th run from the car park around the Hampshire and Berkshire countryside and returning for the Concours in the afternoon.
The route will be the tried, tested and much loved route that we have all ridden on for many years (subject to change), which if you have not been before uses good country roads, not one-track lanes with loose gravel in the middle.
Get the bike out of the garage! Change the oil! Check the plugs! And give it a polish!, unless it is in wonderful "as original" condition, then please don't show it the polishing rag it will have a heart attack!
Polished or not polished you are all cordially invited to attend the 39th Classic Motorcycle Run and Concours hosted by the Lions Club of Fleet.
Riders arrive between 9:30am and 10:30am and enjoy a hearty breakfast made available by the Lions Club catering team and washed down with a Tea or Coffee served at half price if you bring your own re-usable cup. With the Run starting to leave at 11:00am.
Milling around having a chat and comparing notes, many riders and visitors meet up year after year at this event. We are always pleased to see old friends and old bikes.
You will certainly have a fascinating day, with some very rare and usual motorcycles and even one or two interesting riders!
The Run will start at the The Key car park, Elvetham Heath, Fleet and after approximately one mile will follow the tried and tested marked route out to the Hampshire / Berkshire borders using good but not too busy roads. We return to Fleet on the second part of the run for judging the Concours, a good chat, the raffle and prize-giving of the Concours classes.
