Air Search Runway Run 2023

The third Channel Islands Air Search Runway Run, sponsored by BDO Guernsey, is due to take place after 9 p.m. on Saturday, 2nd September. The Run is the local search and rescue charity's flagship event and helps raise vital funds to keep the Lifeboats' Eyes in the Sky. As with so many charity events, the Run is reliant on many volunteers to ensure that it can take place smoothly and safely. We are keen to hear from anyone who is interested in helping out at the Runway Run. There are a wide variety of roles available, from helping with runner registration at the Aero Club and marshalling in the car parks to helping out in the hangar. To find out more, please email us at friends@airsearch1.com.

Air Search Runway Run 2023

Islanders will once again have an opportunity of running on Guernsey Airport’s runway later this year. The third Channel Islands Air Search Runway Run, sponsored by BDO Guernsey, is due to take place after 9.00 p.m. on Saturday, 2nd September and will allow runners to experience the novelty and excitement of this fun event, whilst also helping raise money for the voluntary local life-saving search and rescue charity. This year’s event hopes to build on the success of the Air Search Runway Runs held in 2021 and 2022. The Run will continue as a 5 km course over the runway and taxiways, however, it will be a ‘fun run’ rather than a competitive, timed event. The number of places available is strictly limited to 500 participants, and prospective runners can secure their spot at a cost of £25 per person, including a special commemorative t-shirt to be worn on the night. Enrolment for the event is now open, and is online via RaceNation - https://race-nation.co.uk/register/channel-islands-air-search-runway-run/channel-islands-air-search-runway-run-2023 . Runners are reminded that, as official photographic identification will be required on the night, names should be entered as they appear on the relevant ID when registering. Further information may be found on the dedicated ‘Air Search Runway Run’ Facebook page. Runners are also being encouraged to raise sponsorship, which will be facilitated through Race Nation’s SportsGiving service.
