Exclusive Airport Regulations and Safety

Running in a restricted airport zone requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Athletes will pass through a mandatory screening area, and access to the runway is restricted to specific time windows. Due to aviation safety standards, items such as hydration bags, backpacks, cameras on sticks, and loose food are prohibited on the track. A dedicated hydration zone is provided along the course, where runners must consume water within the delimited area to ensure no debris or litter affects airport security. Only essential items like keys and IDs stored in zippered clothing pockets are permitted on the runway.

Athlete Services and Event Schedule

The event kicks off late Saturday night, April 11, with the arena opening at 10:00 PM for bag check and initial screening. Following a high-energy warm-up, the races start at midnight. Kit collection is organized during the days leading up to the race (April 9–11) at the Track&Field Belvedere store. Participants who complete the course are rewarded with an exclusive Finisher t-shirt and a collectible medal. With live DJ sets and musical performances at the finish line, the Motiva Aeroportos etapa offers a premium atmosphere for those looking to combine high-level sport with an unforgettable nighttime experience.
