Meteor Mile
The Meteor Mile is an annual running event held at Gloucestershire Airport, Staverton. The next scheduled edition will take place on Friday 28th August 2026. The event was first held in 2013, took a three year break because of the Covid pandemic and subsequent groundwork, and was reinstated in 2023.
The course uses the airport surface, beginning on a support road before turning onto the main runway and finishing close to the terminal building. The first 300 metres are along the support road, followed by a longer section on the runway and a final 200 metres to the finish. Runway lights are used during the evening setting and chip timing has been introduced in recent years.
The organisers present bespoke finisher medals to every participant. Prizes are awarded to the first male and first female adults and to junior finishers under 15. The host club also awards prizes to the first male and first female club finishers. Children are explicitly encouraged to take part. Prize giving takes place in the Aviator bar located at the airport terminal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
