Aviation Sans Frontières recently raised more than €200,000 ($217,000) for projects using aircraft and industry volunteers to support humanitarian work worldwide. On October 20, the Paris-based not-for-profit organization held its first sponsored AéroRun event in which 1,200 people of all ages raced around the runway at Le Bourget Airport.

The charity event received strong support from the wider French aviation community, including the country’s DGAC civil aviation agency, Dassault Aviation, Groupe ADP, Jetex, and SkyFirst. The runners included 22 different nationalities and they had full use of Le Bourget’s Runway 03-21 for a 10-kilometer course, enjoying 360-degree views of the airport as they progressed to the finish line.
