Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters1. Their radiation fields, stellar winds and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the first few million years of a cluster’s life, massive stars are dynamically ejected and run away from the cluster at high speed2.

We thank F. Backs, O. Ould-Boukattine, J. Hessels, D. Linssen and M. Snelders for their help and discussions. M.S. acknowledges support from NOVA. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme . This work has made use of data from the European Space Agency’s mission Gaia .

Extended Data Fig. 1 Proper motion of stars relative to R136 in the field in and around R136 with reliable astrometry. The blue stars represent the runaways coming from R136 found in this work, while the grey stars do not originate in R136. The stars with reliable astrometry are defined in Section 1. The proper motion of R136 found in Section 1 has been subtracted and is. The black circle is centred on R136 and has a radius of 2.0 pc. The dashed black rectangle depicts the region used to derive the colour-magnitude-diagram of the north-east cluster in.
