Where is Anna vintage motorcycle run Belgium 2024 Friday sprint races – Make it a date for 2025. It’s great fun.
The title “Where is Anna” is a tribute to the story of a WW1 despatch rider. He roamed Northern Belgium is search of his girlfriend, Anna, who had apparently taken refuge in the last unoccupied area within Belgium.
The “Where is Anna” vintage motorcycle run is held on Saturday and is primarily for pre-1931 motorcycles. The Saturday run is a lovely, relaxed, affair. It begins at 08.30 for a briefing. We then set off on 4 short runs. Each run has a break and we are offered detailed information on a specific event in WW1 by re-enactment actors. You don’t have to listen in, but it’s worth it
The Saturday run ends back where we started and everyone gets involved in an excellent BBQ and after-party.

The Friday event at Where is Anna is very informal. You are invited across the road from the main venue to participate in the Flanders Field Race. This is a short sprint over a recently harvested field. It’s not the smoothest of rides, so bring an appropriate machine. The pre-1931 rule doesn’t apply but you are encouraged to use something vintage (ideally pre-war).
Where is Anna is an event I will continue to make an annual pilgrimage to. There are a few beach races in the UK and Europe, but this event is so much more than that. It’s relatively small and very welcoming.
I love going to events like this. It gives me a great opportunity to actually meet with some of the people that I have supplied early motorcycle parts to. If you are looking for parts for your pre-1930 motorcycle project, see the current selection of parts here. If you have a Pioneer motorcycle, I occasionally have parts available here.
There are many clubs that you can join, including ones for each motorcycle marque. If you are new to early motorcycles, a good place to start is by joining the Vintage Motorcycle Club.
