Vancouver All British Field Meet All-Brit RUN
In 2024 the Vancouver ABFM All-Brit RUN happens on Sunday, May 19th. The day before, on the Saturday, the All British Field Meet takes place at VanDusen Botanical Garden. The event on May 18th features hundreds of classic cars and thousands of car enthusiasts. It’s a ticketed event for both car owners and the general public, and it’s amazing! The Vancouver ABFM All-Brit RUN on the Sunday, meanwhile, is a ticketed event for owners of classic British cars. The first part of it, however, is free for the public.
On the Sunday of the May Long Weekend, participating vehicles and their owners gather in the parking lot of KMS Tools in Langley. The store is located at 19600 Langley Bypass, which is across the street from Willowbrook Mall. Cars are there from around 9:30 am until about 10:00 am. That’s a great time for the general public to see the vehicles. There is no cost for that.
Starting at around 10:00 am, the cars head out on a leisurely drive to Harrison Hot Springs in the Fraser Valley.
About the ABFM All-Brit RUN
The Vancouver ABFM All-Brit RUN involves three things. The first is the gathering of vehicles on the Sunday morning at the start, at KMS Tools in Langley. The second is the drive to Harrison Hot Springs. That’s lots of fun for the drivers, and fun to see from the road if you happen to be in the right place as they drive by. The third part of the event is the party for the drivers at the end of their trip.
The cars head to Harrison Hot Springs via a couple of different routes beginning at 10:00 am. The first route involves a leisurely 115-kilometre drive via Highway #7. On their way to Harrison Hot Springs, the cars pass through Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Mission, Agassiz and Harrison Mills.
The second route is Adventure Roads Unknown. With this option, the convoy takes a more adventurous route along some of the back roads to Harrison. Participants joining this group get a map to help them find their way in case they get lost or want to head out on their own.
