Excellent event, just wee before you get there.. Really well laid out route, nice Hill in the middle to mix things up. Event village was well stocked with a variety of stalls. Good to have celebs at the start. Warm up routine could have been better but who really does these. The start was a little confusing and a lot if people started their watches too soon. But not a biggie. My only gripe was the lack of toilets. There were many but just not enough for 5000 people, most of which need a wee before they run. Thank god for bushes if you a bloke. Really recommend this half marathon. Better than Brighton by a long way.

This unique aviation themed 10K starts and finishes at Gatwick Aviation Museum, surrounded by planes on the ground in the air for an exhilarating morning of running. A fast and flat route that takes you as close as you will ever get to Gatwick Airport; inside the restricted perimeter road, right along the full stretch of runway where you’ll run beside planes as they take off and land. After your run enjoy the Event Village with plenty of food and drink options to make this a great day out.
Plenty of pre-race communication from the Run Series team to ensure you are fully prepped for the day.
