Race the Runway!

Race the Runway!

Event Description: Race the Runway at Shobdon Airfield

Registration: https://www.entrycentral.com/RTR

Race the Runway gives the rare opportunity to run along the runway at Shobdon Aerodrome, but don't be fooled - the 10k route takes you around surrounding farmland and features some steady climbs, gravel tracks and field margins. There are some glorious views of the surrounding Herefordshire Countryside and the aerodrome at Shobdon. The last 836 meters to the finish line is along the runway - but don't worry it will be closed to planes!

The 2km fun run is completely level, a circular route, all on tarmac - starting at the end of the runway, taking you past the hangers and tower to the far end of the runway where you will be able to run down the entire runway to the finish line. This is a great opportunity to get a 2k PB if you are a runner, but is ideal for new runners or anyone who wants to take it a bit steady and take in the rare opportunity to jog or walk down a runway.

Chip timing by ReadySetGo timing

Small prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd male and female finishers of the 10k Race the Runway.

All participants in both the 10k and the fun-run will be entered into a draw to win a 20 minute trial flight in a 2 seater plane to be taken on a mutual future date.

A soft/hot drink and a snack will be included for all runners and refreshments will be available to purchase from the fabulous Megs Café for everyone who comes along.

Parking is close to the start/finish.

Minimum age for entries to the 10k is 17 years of age on race day.

There is no minimum age for the fun-run but all runners under the age of 12 run need to run with an adult, both need to be entered to the event

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday 12th April

  • Time: 17:00

  • Location: Shobdon Airfield

We look forward to seeing you there!
