Navigator Sponsors
Photos of the 2018 Airport Runway Run will be posted on our Facebook page.
New for 2018:
- 2K Family Fun Run course that is almost entirely on the runway
- Certified 5K and 10K courses
- Practice runs
- Gear Check at the Start/Finish Zone to stash sweats and other items
- Model rockets mark the start of the Airport Runway Run
- ABC 7 News Anchor Eric Thomas as Master of Ceremonies
Express your need for speed with a unique 2K/5K/10K running event that’s fun and healthy for the whole family.
The start of the race route is the San Carlos Airport runway! Like an aircraft on takeoff, you will traverse the length of the entire 2,600 foot runway before continuing through the beautiful wetlands on Bair Island, then return to the airport and conclude at Hiller Aviation Museum. This is one of the most interesting and beautiful running, jogging, and walking experiences in the Bay Area.
Proceeds of the Airport Runway Run benefit Hiller Aviation Museum, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that delivers experiences that educate the public about science and aviation.
