Local runners will once again have the chance to run the runway at the second Crimestoppers Runway Run.
The 5k (3.1 miles) night-time race, organised by charity Crimestoppers, will take place at Guernsey Airport on Saturday 17 September and is open to runners of all abilities over the age of 14.
The event will offer 333 runners the unique experience of running the length of the runway guided by the landing lights and a full moon.
Mike Smith from Guernsey Crimestoppers said: “We received a huge amount of positive feedback from the runners that took part in last year’s Runway Run. With the support of the Airport, we have the opportunity to extend the number of entrants for 2016.
“The Runway Run is a unique sporting event for the community which helps to raise the profile of Crimestoppers and its role in keeping our islands safe. The event was extremely well supported last year so we hope more islanders will be up for the challenge and surreal experience this year.”
Prizes will be awarded to the fastest male, female, veterans (45 and over) and under 18. Will Bodkin was the overall winner last year with a time of 16.36 minutes. The average time to complete the course was 27 minutes. A trophy will also be presented to the fastest corporate team made up of three to six runners with the fastest three times counting.
Tickets are £15 per person and are available from Eventbrite.com. All participants will receive a special commemorative shirt to wear on the night.
