How the Grinch Stole the Runway Open House & Fly-In
Event Description
Get ready for a race day that’s as fun to explore as it is to run. The Run the Runway: Pryor Field 5K isn’t your typical straight-line airport race —this new USATF-certified course winds past open hangars full of private planes and jets, cruises by the helipad, glides down the runway and taxiway, and even takes runners through a World War II hangar. It’s flat, fast, and packed with things to see along the way.
 
And it’s not just for the grown-ups — bring the whole crew out for the Fun Run, a kid-friendly dash that lets young runners experience the excitement of being on an active airport. It’s the perfect way to spark their love for aviation and experience the race-day energy.
 
USATF Certified 5K Course that starts at the Airport Authority Flight Center and winds down portions of the Runway, Taxiway, and Hanger spaces while avoiding the typical dreaded long straightaways of other run the runway type events. Certification # and GPX file to be released closer to race day.
 
Whether you’re chasing a PR, jogging with friends, or cheering on your little aviators, Run the Runway: Pryor Field 5K delivers a race day full of sights, smiles, and memories.

Sponsorship and vendor opportunities are also available!
