This very exciting and unique 5K Run will take place at one of the

guarantees exciting views of airplanes and aircraft activity.
Participants will start this certified Run/Walk at 5020 Hangar Road
and proceed onto one of the Airport's runways. The course falls within
the Airport's fenced area and offers
a very flat and smooth surface, making it wheelchair accessible and
stroller friendly. The Runway 5K

interactive aviation displays will be on hand.
Top overall Male and Female winners will receive a pair of airline
gift cards-good towards the purchase
