London City Airport turned part of its runway into a race track on October 17, as around 5,000 runners took part in Nike’s After Dark Tour London 10K. The sold-out nighttime event allowed participants to run on a stretch normally used by aircraft, with views of the London skyline. The race began and ended at Silverworks Island in the Royal Docks, passing through waterfront areas before reaching the runway. Airport officials said the event took place outside operating hours and did not affect flights. The evening also featured live DJs, athlete hosts and a performance by British singer Pink Pantheress.
