Meteor Mile

The Meteor Mile is an annual one-mile running event held at Gloucestershire Airport, Staverton, typically in late August or early September. The race features a unique course that starts on the airport's access road before turning onto the main runway, offering a fast, traffic-free route with the dramatic backdrop of runway lights and a setting sun. Open to all ages, the event encourages family participation and includes prizes for the fastest senior and junior (under 15) runners, as well as for the top Almost Athletes club finishers.

Post-race socializing and prize-giving take place at The Aviator bar near the terminal, enhancing the friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
