Vintage vehicle event moved due to 10K clash
Organisers of a road run for vintage and classic vehicles said it "won't be the same" after changing its starting point for the first time in 56 years due to a clash with the Hull 10K. They said the East Coast Run had begun in East Park for "many years", with almost 3,500 vehicles, including cars, buses and fire engines, travelling to Bridlington. However, this year the event will start at the Humber Bridge Car Park, at 09:00 BST on Sunday, as East Park is being used to stage the Hull 10K. Hull City Council said private event bookings for East Park were conducted on a "first come first serve basis" and the Hull 10K had been booked prior to any other inquiries. Mark Elvidge, chairman of the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club, said: "I've had emails from people pulling out of the event who aspired to take part from being children, but feel like it won't be the same after the change of venue." Organisers are encouraging people to wave at the cars along the route through East Yorkshire on the day. Mr Elvidge said he feared the change would have an impact on the future of the event as the Humber Bridge does not have as much space so vehicles would have to move on quickly. He said at East Park they would remain static so people could admire them and speak to the vehicles' owners. The INEOS Hull 10K is taking up the space in East Park on Sunday with a new route beginning at Craven Park. Mr Elvidge said: "We only found out about us not being able to use East Park this year recently which was a surprise and shock to us all. "Ultimately it's caused us a lot of problems and lots of planning goes into these events. We're a not for profit organisation so it has been a trauma to us all." In a statement, the council said: "We are hugely supportive of our parks being used for large scale events, and will always work with event organisers to provide support and availability whenever possible."
