Race Guide
EMA 10k and 2k Fun Run
Date / Time
Length
6.21 miles (10.0 km)
Description
Choose from either the full 10km race or the 2km family event. Start and finish for both races is outside the main Departures hall; the 10k route is on mixed terrain and takes runners along closed airport roads as well as the perimeter trail with a final loop around the fire station near the central apron. The 2k route takes runners up to and around the fire station – areas only airport staff normally get to see!
‘Check-in’ for the race takes place in the Airport’s Departure Hall, whilst the surrounding areas will provide fantastic viewing facilities and event village areas.
Our ‘Team Challenge’ event will allow teams of up to six to race over the 10k course – with the fastest FOUR times combined to see who the overall fastest team are. Prizes are awarded for:
The fastest 4 in a team covering the 10k distance
The team who raises the most money for charity
At the same time as enjoying the unique course, you can support our official charity CLIC SARGENT. You can donate at point of entry or opt to create your CLIC Sargent Just Giving page.
The closure of the runway only happens once every 15 – 20 years so it’s a unique opportunity to see the airport from a new perspective as well as support the local community and raise money for a fantastic cause!
