Run Gatwick
Run Gatwick features a revamped, closed-road half marathon with a 13.1 mile route that starts from Crawley town centre and runs close to Gatwick Airport flight paths. The course is described as fairly flat and scenic, with sections that run alongside and beneath aircraft approaches.
The event includes a race village set in the grounds of the Gatwick Aviation Museum and additional closed-road races in the town centre. Participants have reported visible on-course support from marshals and pacers, water stations using paper cups, and event finishes that include a medal and a buff.
Transport and logistics vary by year. Organisers provide shuttle options, parking and public transport links, while some participants reported congestion entering and leaving the venue and occasional delayed starts related to access. Race-day notes from participants also mention narrow start funneling on parts of the course, out-and-back sections, limited spectator points on some stretches, and immediate post-race facilities such as food and drink stalls in the event village.
