Meteor Mile

The Meteor Mile is an annual running event hosted by Almost Athletes at Gloucestershire Airport near Staverton. Established in 2013, the race takes place on the airport's main runway and adjacent support road, offering a unique course illuminated by runway lights against the setting sun. The route covers just over a mile, starting with 300 meters on the support road, followed by a 1-kilometer stretch on the runway, and finishing with a 200-meter dash near the terminal building.

The event emphasizes inclusivity and community spirit, encouraging participation from all ages, including children. Finishers receive bespoke medals, and prizes are awarded to top male, female, and junior runners. Post-race celebrations are held at the Aviator bar, fostering a social atmosphere.
