Walk or Run to CLT250 at the Runway 5K
Ever wanted to run or walk on one of the country’s busiest airport runways? Now is your chance to join us for the Runway 5K at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27. The Runway 5K is an annual race held by the Airport, and this year it features CLT250 in celebration of our city’s 250th anniversary.
About the race
Runway 5K is family-friendly and is a great chance for aviation enthusiasts to get an up close and personal view of the airport and commercial planes. The course is both wheelchair accessible and baby stroller friendly, and promises a great time for both runners and walkers.
New this year, proceeds from the Run will benefit the Airport Opportunity Scholarship through Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC), which will assist Charlotte-Mecklenburg high school graduates who are interested in aviation careers.
