The Runway Run at Aberdeen International Airport will open for entries this week.

The event, now in its fifth year, is scheduled to take place on June 22 at the CHC Helicopter terminal.

Once again, CHC Helicopters and Aberdeen International Airport are joining forces to organise this extraordinary event. In 2023, 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 this Thursday, April 11, at 6pm with organisers encouraging eager runners to secure their spots early.

Participants will have the opportunity to run 4km course, with proceeds benefiting Aberdeen International Airport's chosen charity AberNecessities, as well as CHC Helicopters' selected charity, yet to be announced.

Times will be recorded using chip technology for each individual runner. Tickets are priced at £25, with a sponsorship target of £100 per participant.

Runners of all abilities are welcome to participate, and tickets can be purchased from the official Runway Run website starting at 1800 on Thursday, April 11, at www.aberdeenrunwayrun.co.uk

Dyce Men’s Shed leader, Mr Havine Alaf said the money paid to the men's community facility now means they will be able to afford a new kettle and chocolate digestives.
