2017 sees the 50th birthday of Milton Keynes
Development of the new town of Milton Keynes began following its formal designation as a new town on January 23rd 1967.
Its purpose was to help alleviate London’s chronic housing problem and to provide a commercial centre for Buckinghamshire. It was called Milton Keynes after the existing village of that name.
MK Council will be holding lots of celebratory event throughout the year to mark this anniversary and Redway Runners will be playing their part in this
For anyone wanting to see further details of the celebrations planned so more or to read more of the history of MK you can visit a dedicated website set up for the occasion at MK50
We will be adding details of the Redway Runners celebrations on this page as we release them – please click on the list below for details / photo’s of the events we have already announced
