Tunnel running is a kind of motor vehicle road rally for owners of high-performance vehicles. It emphasizes recreational driving in a group and journeys involving tunnels in particular, focusing on the enjoyment of the noises engines make in enclosed spaces rather than outright speed, and is a rare activity among sports car clubs.[1] It is often at night when little other traffic is present.[1] Similar to flash mobs, tunnel runs tend to be organized in a clandestine manner,[2] although some groups do inform police about 'runs' beforehand.
The activity originated in 2004 in the United Kingdom.[1] The original group, known as London Tunnel Runners, has facilitated regular tunnel runs since their founding in 2004.[1] At times, convoys of over 200 cars have driven through tunnels in this manner.[1][3]
^As described in both reviews organisation of runs tends to be via a "members only" website with directions and routes often only handed out at the rendez-vous; the description "clandestine" was also used in the Islington Council description.
