Fancy a run - on a runway?

On Saturday evening (11 September) the Twilight Runway Challenge returns to Blackbushe Airport in Yateley.

Participants can run, walk, cycle, scoot or even skateboard along 3km, 5km or 10km of the airstrip - while raising funds for charity.

Gates open from 4.15pm with the Challenge starting at 5.00pm.

The annual sporting event is organised by Community Matters Partnership Project and attracts a wide variety of participants, from people looking to get fit, beating a personal best, taking part in fancy dress or having fun with friends, family or colleagues.

Founder of Tracy Jarvis (Founder of CMPP) said: “CMPP is all about community and collaboration, and our Twilight Runway Challenge embodies this.

"We are proud that this flagship fundraising event helps to raise vital funds for charities across Surrey and Hampshire.”

The event has an array of charity partners including Mane Chance Sanctuary based in Compton.

Its head of fundraising Katy Day-Jones said: “We are thrilled to be a charity partner with the Twilight Runway Challenge for 2021 as it will provide Mane Chance Sanctuary with an exciting event to share with our supporters and raise awareness of our charity within the local community.

"With the cancellation of so many events last year, we cannot wait to get our feet on the runway at Blackbushe Airport and be a part of this fantastic event.”
