Our Presenting Partner

Farnborough Airport  is proud to be presenting sponsor of the 2026 Farnborough half-marathon for the third consecutive year. Farnborough and its airport have a unique place in aviation history. The first UK powered flight took off from the airfield in 1908 and today the town’s airport is known across the globe for hosting the world’s pre-eminent aviation and aerospace trade event - the Farnborough International Airshow.

Striving to be an employer of choice and responsibility, Farnborough Airport currently supports 3,000 jobs locally, with approximately 75% of its employees living within a 10-mile radius of the Airport. This makes it one of the region’s largest employers.

When it comes to its people, health is a high priority at Farnborough Airport, with a dedicated team in place to protect and promote a supportive, open and positive culture around physical, social and emotional wellbeing.

For those looking to get fit, it offers schemes which gives access to tax-free bicycles, while those running or walking into run work can earn tokens, which can be exchanged for vouchers towards online sports retailers.

Farnborough Airport also plays an active role in funding the development of local facilities. It wants everybody to be able to enjoy the variety of local parks and communal facilities and services as they were intended – to be of benefit and bring enjoyment and wellbeing to local people.

Over the last 13 years, it has resulted in more than £850k in grants to enhance community areas that include school playgrounds, local parks and nature reserves, grassroots sports teams and other community projects.

It is hard to think of another location where the airport and its local area are so ostensibly defined by one another. Together with its community, Farnborough Airport wants to build a better future.
