RUN GATWICK

With the huge success of our fabulous and fully aviation themed new format and route last May, we're delighted that Run Gatwick will be back this year on Sunday 12 May 2024!


Starting and finishing from Gatwick Aviation Museum, this
unique and exciting route takes you inside the restricted area of the UK’s second largest airport, right along the full stretch of main runway running beside planes as they take off and land less than 100 metres away from you.  A fast and flat closed road 10K, the best bit about Run Gatwick is, well, Gatwick - no other event gets you this close to a live international runway...

This event will sell out, so sign up now to avoid disappointment and join us for a unique and exhilarating experience.

  • WHAT IS YOUR REFUND AND TRANSFER POLICY?

    Refunds:

    As with the vast majority of races, we can’t offer a refund unless you select refundable booking at checkout. Please see our participant Terms and Conditions for more information. 


    Deferrals to future events:

    Our deferral policy has had to change in order to sustain our small business going forward. We can no longer support deferrals to the following year. We have always tried our best to be flexible, however this now has to be balanced with finite resources and rising costs. To protect your race place from injury and other unforeseen circumstances, we now have optional refundable booking for 10% of your registration fee. If you choose not to take up this option, please do not ask us for a refund or deferral to another event as we will not be able to do this. Thank you for your understanding.


    Transfer your place to another runner:

    You can transfer your entry to another runner, simply log in to your registration and select the relevant option on the left-hand menu bar.


  • IS THERE A TIME LIMIT TO COMPLETE THE RACE?

    No, there is no time limit to complete the races and have your finish time recorded. However, please note that 2 hours after the start of the race our marshals will be stood down and normal rules of the road will apply. Bear in mind that you will have to walk and run along roads, many of which do not have pavements. All runners are encouraged to continue running and every finisher will be chip timed. Any runner still on route will also be given the option of a lift back to the start / finish site if they’re unable to complete the distance.

  • WILL THERE BE PACERS?

    Yes! We will have the expert Xempo pacing team again with experienced pacers covering the following times 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 minutes.

  • ARE WHEELCHAIR ENTRIES AVAILABLE?

    YES! We have always had wheelchair athletes at our events, please just advise us of this when you register.

  • ARE PUSHCHAIRS / DOGS ALLOWED?

    As we are an England Athletics licensed event, there are very strict rules around the use of buggies and pushchairs. Please contact us to get the latest advice from us. Please do not enter if you intend to run with a pushchair without consulting with us first.


    Dogs, no sorry, we do love them but please leave your furry friends at home. Guide dogs are an exception, obviously.

  • DO YOU HAVE A BAG DROP?

    A free (open air) bag drop is available for all participants, please see your runner number for how to make use of this.

    The event village will be open from 8.30am and close at 2pm.

  • WILL THERE BE DRINKING WATER AVAILABLE?

    There will be one water station along 10K route. Additional water will be available to every runner at the finish line. Through our partnership with SES Water we will be using paper cups and once again eliminating thousands of single use plastic water bottles. All water will come exactly as it does at home, from a tap!  If you prefer to drink from a bottle please bring one along as bottled water will not be available.

    Under England Athletics guidelines, the minimum ages to participate are as follows:


    10K - 15 and over

  • IS THERE A 5K OPTION?
