Run the Runways
We are inviting you, your friends and your colleagues to support us in running the length of 31 runways (virtually) in December to provide vital mental health & wellbeing support to the aviation industry.
Why Run the Runways 2022?
With the significant downturn in the aviation sector during Covid-19 and subsequent removal of travel restrictions earlier this year, the aviation industry is continuing to experience many challenges. These issues have not only impacted individuals' mental health, but their wellbeing is continually being tested to the limits.
How your donations will help?
The money raised from this year’s Run the Runways will be used to help more people in the aviation industry by providing different mental health support services.
We want to make sure that everyone in the aviation family can access the below resources for free, which is why we need you for Run the Runways 2022!
Health Support Services

Aviation Action App
Launching next year, Aviation Action has been working with Mentor 360 to develop an Aviation Action app that provides instant access to advice on mental health, performance, wellbeing, nutrition and much more. The app has been specifically designed to help people better face the obstacles in their lives.

Run the Runways 2022 Calendar
“The health crisis has had a devastating effect on so many people in aviation. I have been personally touched by this aftermath and have lost so many colleagues and friends from the industry. The vital support provided by this charity is invaluable and is providing our aviation family with the support they need, this is why I support Aviation Action. ”

Over the month of December 2020, an incredible group of 480 people virtually ran the lengths of 31 runways across the UK to support Aviation Action. Together we raised over £30,000! We cannot wait to do it again in 2022.
