Aberdeen International Airport and CHC Helicopters will once again give 400 runners a unique opportunity to take part in the Runway Run 2025!
Returning for its sixth year the highly anticipated event will take place on Saturday, 23rd of August at the CHC Helicopter terminal.
More than £50,000 was raised at last year’s event for charitable causes with 2025 also aiming to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charity.
Once again, CHC Helicopters and Aberdeen International Airport are joining forces to organise this extraordinary midnight event. In 2024, the runway was lit up as nearly 400 participants dashed through the night, and this year, the event aims to accommodate even more participants.
Tickets for the event will go on sale on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 6pm with organisers encouraging eager runners to secure their spots early.
Participants will have the opportunity to run a 4km course, with proceeds benefiting Aberdeen International Airport's chosen charity AberNecessities, as well as CHC Helicopters' selected charity, yet to be announced.
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, highlighted the success of last year's event, which raised over £50,000 for charity.
"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.
“I’d also like to say thank you to all our sponsors, returning and new for making this event possible.”
Sponsors for the event this year include AviAlliance, Ace Aviation, APCOA, NATS, Alpha Fencing, GJ Services Ltd, Cirrus Workspaces and ABM.
Northsound 1 have also signed up as the Official Media partner of the Runway Run 2025 with Stagecoach also the Official Transport Partner of the Runway Run.
