The Runway Run is back!

Join us at Southampton Airport on Sunday 20 July for a 5k with a difference.

The unique event offers runners the rare opportunity to race on the airport’s smooth, straight tarmac.

With a pre-dawn warm-up and a 05:30 start, it’s the perfect setting to chase a personal best while experiencing the thrill of running on an active runway.

Registration:

Entry is £30 per person and places are limited. There are just 1,000 places up for grabs, so register today to secure your spot!

Entry is open to everyone aged 14 and above. Terms and conditions apply.

Timings:

• Check in opens: 04:00
• Warm up: 05:20
• Start time: 05:30
• Finish time: 06:30

Please be aware that due to departing flights and the need to reopen the runway, the event has a strict one-hour time limit. We kindly ask that all participants complete the run by 06:30.

Wide Lane, Southampton, SO18 2NL

The airport car park will open from 03:50 where marshals will be waiting to direct you. If you have a blue badge, please email [email protected] with your name and number plate.

If you’re being dropped off, please use the Short Stay car park — drop-offs here are free of charge.

Please note: If your driver continues past the Short Stay car park, they won’t be able to turn back and may get stuck, so it’s important to use the correct area. Thank you for helping us keep things running smoothly!
