Heathrow Racetrack

One of the world's busiest airports was turned into a temporary race track last night. More than a hundred charity fund-raisers ran the full length of Heathrow's northern runway, and round the taxiways too. The airport normally handles more than one thousand flights a day - but there was no need to dodge any incoming Jumbo Jets. The run - in aid of the Anthony Nolan Trust leukaemia charity - took place after the airport had closed for the night.
