The 15,000ft paved runway at KEDW has a 9,000ft unpaved overrun extending onto the Groom Lake dry lake bed. There are several runway outlines on the lakebed, of which the longest is 17/35, at about 7.5 miles (that's getting on for 40,000 ft)
I think Galway (EICM) has just had an ILS installed. Runway is 4430ft with a landing distance of 3937ft. Shortest ILS runway in this corner of the world?
A few miles further southwest, the runway on Inishmaan (EIMN) is just 1181ft but has daily flights by Aer Arann Islands. I think the runway at St. Mary's on the Isles of Scilly is even shorter though.

Ok so we now have a few more;
Inishmaan (IIA/EIMN) runway 15/33 = 1,700ft* NON ILS
St. Marys, Scilly Isles (ISC/EGHE) runway 15/33 = 1,969ft ILS**
Galway (GWY/EICM) runway 08/26 = 3,940ft ILS**
Campbeltown (CAL/EGEC) runway 11/29 = 10,003ft NON ILS
Denver (DEN/KDEN) runway 16R/34L = 16,000ft ILS
Baikonur / Yubeleniye (???/????) runway ??/?? = 14,764ft ILS**

All this talk of feet has confused me. I know that Timisoara in Western Romania has a runway of 3,083m. Cat 2 now and soon to be Cat3. Loads of old Migs litter the south side.
As for the shortest well Barra doesn't have one for much of the day cos its flooded.

Picture of Saba (SAB/TNCS) that I like better. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/490051/L/
I don't know whether the 400 m is counted between the two thesholds or end-to-end. As the caption says, note the X marks indicating a permanently-closed airfield. But it's used every day.
