“We are thrilled to bring the 5K on the Runway back for its fifth year,” said Event Coordinator Tabitha Abbott. “This race has grown over the years, and we’re excited to welcome more runners than ever before. Plus, thanks to new partnerships with local aviation organizations, participants will enjoy even more aviation experiences this year.”
The race is capped at 600 runners and is already two-thirds sold out. Runners must register by April 2 to guarantee their T-shirt size. Those who aren’t running can still participate by signing up as a volunteer or purchasing a spectator pass.
