This was a one off opportunity which arose because the airport is closed at the weekend whilst the runway is being resurfaced. The course consisted of 2 laps: some parts on the airfield's apron and taxiways and other parts on adjacent roads, which were closed. The first lap was slightly longer than the second. The course was relatively flat and fast on asphalt and concrete  

The event was well organised and very well marshalled. Check in was at the airport check in desks and many of the airport's landslide facilities were open. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful and there were plenty of marshalls out on the course. The water station was passed twice - just after the 5k marker and between 9 and 10k. 

A medal, kit bag, long sleeved top and the obligatory water and energy tabs awaited us at the finish line along with plenty of buses to whisk us back to the car park. 

All in all, a unique event which was well organised and very memorable.
