Event overview

It is exciting to announce this first 100 mile endurance event. The guys at Manston Airport have given permission to hold the worlds first 100 mile running event at an airport, all cleared for take off!

This will be your chance to earn a bespoke buckle and an epic shirt designed by the fabulous Claire Foley. This 100 mile event will not only be your chance to be one of the first to complete 100 miles at an airport but also due to the very small amount of elevation a great course for those attempting their first 100 miler and also potential for some cracking times.

As part of what will be a truly unique weekend of running, there will also be a 24 hour challenge event and a pacer entry.

Time to get ready for flying feet and join us in which is sure to be a unique running adventure. Ever fancied running down an airport runway? Wondered what it would be like to have an aid station in a control tower? Ponder no more with this event(s) at Manston Airport.

Manston Airport has one of the longest runways in the UK and is steeped in history dating back to WW1.

The course  will start on a trail path around the perimeter of the airport before turning onto the 2752 metre runway then just under 1 mile back to base camp. Each loop is approx  6.67 miles meaning to secure your finishers Buckle you will need to record 15 laps.

This event is part of The Runway 100!.
