Автопробег 2026: Открыта регистрация на автопробег ко Дню Победы
Registration is open for the 2026 Victory Day car rally — 19 convoys from across the UK converge for a festival of music, family activities, and remembrance.
Registration is now open for the Автопробег 2026 — the annual Victory Day car rally organised by RuCentre, the Eastern European community organisation in the United Kingdom.
Every 9 May, car convoys from across the UK travel along major motorways decorated with WWII memorial symbols, flags, and stickers. The convoys — 19 in total, each named after a wartime front — converge at a central venue for a day-long festival.
The festival includes live concerts with wartime and modern songs, a dedicated children's entertainment area, a thematic military exhibition, affordable food from the on-site kitchen, and a fireworks finale at sundown. Participants can set up tents and stay overnight for an evening of campfire music and conversation.
The Автопробег has no external sponsors or funding — it is organised entirely by volunteers and funded by participants themselves. It remains free to attend and open to all families.
Visit rucentre.org/avtoprobeg-9-maya to register your vehicle and family. The form asks for your name, email, group size, and whether you plan to camp overnight.
Themed merchandise including rally flags, stickers, and St George ribbons is available at the RuCentre shop.
