Midnight Runway Run returns to Aberdeen with biggest ever event
The runway at Aberdeen International Airport will once again swap planes for people in the name of charity
Last updated 29th Jan 2024
The popular Midnight Runway Run at Aberdeen International Airport (AIA) is returning this summer with more entrants than ever.
As many as 400 people will take on the extended 4km course on June 24, all in the name of charity.
The charities, chosen by AIA, are We Too! and Kayleigh's Wee Starts. CHC Helicopters, who are teaming up with AIA for the event, will also select a charity.
Building on previous success
Last year, with numbers capped at 300, more than £40,000 was raised for chairty.
Mark Beveridge, Operations Director at AIA said: "Last year’s sold out event was a huge success.
"We’d encourage runners of all abilities to apply for a space in the most exclusive running event in the region.
"We’re delighted to open up our runway to our runners once more and look forward to working in partnership with CHC Helicopter to raise essential funds for worthy causes."
CHC Helicopter Captain Ryan Broadhurst organises the event with the airport’s operations team.
He said: "It is always great to return once again to Aberdeen International Airport for the Runway Run.
"Working with the airport team to co-ordinate the challenge and bring 400 runners on to the runway for charity is really special."
Times are recorded using chip technology for each individual runner.
Tickets will be £25 with a target sponsorship of £100 per participant and will go on sale on Thursday, 27 April here.
