If I was standing right at the end of the runway I'd quite fancy my chances.

But what if the runway was a treadmill?

Wait, we can haz hamster treadmill powered planes?

Planes take off at a given air speed, not ground speed, so that wouldn't affect anything.

Did you know that Mythbusters tested whether or not an airplane would take off from a treadmill and came to the conclusion that a plane rlies on air speed and not ground speed?
