The London to Brighton Mini Run takes place on the 3rd Sunday in May. It celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010. In 2009 the event broke the world record for the longest convoy of Minis with a Guinness-verified total of 1450 cars.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_Largest-Parade-of-Mini-Cars-Record-Smashed/blog/408190/7691.html |access-date=25 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100703052158/http://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_Largest-Parade-of-Mini-Cars-Record-Smashed/blog/408190/7691.html |archive-date=3 July 2010|title=Largest Parade Of Mini Cars - Record Smashed! }}</ref> The London to [[Brighton]] Mini Run features a large number of [[Mini]]s both classic and [[MINI (BMW)|modern]]. It is organised by the London & Surrey Mini Owners Club.
The event was the brainchild of Mark Steward, who took ideas from the Vintage runs (from London to Brighton). It originally started at Battersea Park but as it grew it moved to Crystal Palace until 2022 when it moved to Cheam. The Route has always followed the A23.
The 2023 run was the last one. The introduction of the London ULEZ (a £12.50/day charge for those non-compliant vehicles) and the increasing challenge of organising the event for the [https://www.lsmoc.co.uk/copy-of-about-us LSMOC] team was cited as the reason for them not organising an event in 2024.
