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.
