The upcoming Midnight Runway Run at Aberdeen International Airport promises to be its most spectacular event yet, with 400 eager participants set to enjoy an unparalleled experience while supporting charitable endeavors.
Marking its fifth year, the event is slated for June 22 at the CHC Helicopter terminal.
Once again, CHC Helicopters and Aberdeen International Airport are teaming up to orchestrate this remarkable event. In 2023, the runway was ablaze as nearly 400 participants dashed through the night, and this year’s aim is to welcome an even larger crowd.
Tickets for the event will be available starting this Thursday, April 11, at 6 pm, with organizers urging eager runners to secure their spots promptly.
Attendees will take on a 4-kilometer route, with the funds raised supporting AberNecessities, the chosen charity of Aberdeen International Airport, as well as the selected charity of CHC Helicopters, which will be announced soon.
CHC Helicopter Captain Ryan Broadhurst, who coordinates the event alongside the airport’s operations team, expressed his excitement, saying, “It is always great to return to Aberdeen International Airport for the Runway Run.
“Last year we extended the number of spots and running distance to a great response so we hope people will join us again and make our event truly special.”
Robert Paterson, Head of Operations at Aberdeen International Airport, emphasized the triumph of the previous year’s fully-booked event, which garnered over £40,000 in charitable contributions.
“We encourage runners of all abilities to participate in this exclusive event,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to open up our runway once again and partner with CHC Helicopter to support worthy causes.”
The event this year boasts sponsorship from notable companies such as ABM Aviation Services, Alpha Fencing, ATPI, NATs, Hampton by Hilton, and Munro’s Travel.
Additionally, Northsound One has joined as the Official Media Partner of the Runway Run 2024.
Runner times will be precisely captured through chip technology. Tickets are priced at £25 each, aiming for a sponsorship target of £100 per participant.
