Sign up now for the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance 5K Twilight Shift
Participants undertaking Twilight Shift 2024
Lace up your trainers and head to Henstridge Airfield on Saturday 5th July 2025 as the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance 5K Twilight Shift returns for its fourth year – and it’s set to be extra special.
Held around the operational base of the charity’s critical care team, the 5K Twilight Shift invites participants of all ages and abilities to run, jog or walk the course in support of the life-saving work of the Air Ambulance. Whether you take part solo, with family, or as a group of friends or colleagues, the event promises a brilliant afternoon of fitness and fun. Businesses are encouraged to use the day as a team-building opportunity – or maybe to spark a little healthy competition.
This year also marks the charity’s 25th anniversary, so it’s the perfect moment to get involved. Fancy dress is welcomed for a splash of fun – or, for those after a bit more of a challenge, why not carry some extra weight in solidarity with the air ambulance crew and their heavy kit?
The 5K Twilight Shift isn’t a race – go at your own pace and enjoy the atmosphere, all while raising funds for a vital service that’s on call every single day.
Places are limited to just 500 participants. The first 100 adult entries will receive a free event t-shirt, and the charity hopes that everyone taking part will aim to raise at least £50 in sponsorship.
Alana Hardy, Fundraising Events Officer at Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, said:
“We’re so excited to welcome people back to Henstridge for our 5K Twilight Shift. It’s always such a fun and uplifting day – and this year’s event is extra meaningful as we celebrate 25 years of saving lives. Whether you walk, jog or run, you’ll be helping us continue our life-saving work. We hope you’ll join us!”
