About

Built by someone who drove it first.

The Meridian Run is a company from the UK that organises driving trips across Europe for people who love their cars. We plan the roads, the hotels and the evenings. You bring the car.

Why it exists

I started The Meridian Run in 2026 to build a network for people with a real passion for cars, and to drive Europe's best roads together.

I scouted it myself. In September 2026 I drove 2,300 miles from the UK to Monaco and back, through France and the Alps.

That trip taught me what makes a great run: the right roads, the right stops and the right people. It's how we plan every route.

What we believe

  • Bring the car you love driving.

    Not a garage queen. The one you take on holiday, to the club meet, to the pass at 7am.

  • A network, not a crowd.

    Twenty-five cars at most, small enough that you really get to know people. After the run you stay in touch, and the people you meet are the ones you see again on the next.

  • Roads worth the drive.

    Alpine passes and the roads that join them up. Just really good roads.

  • Evenings together.

    The dinners are half the trip, so we sit down together.
