AVL Runway 5K
The AVL Runway 5K is a unique running event held at Asheville Regional Airport in Fletcher, NC. This flat 5K course takes runners along Taxiway Bravo, adjacent to the active Runway 17-35, offering a rare experience of running on an airfield with planes taking off and landing nearby. The race venue is located at the airport's southwest corner, with shuttle service provided from a designated parking area.
The event features a fun and secure atmosphere, with music and food trucks at the finish line. Participants receive race shirts, and awards are given across various age groups and categories. No pets or disposable water bottles are allowed on the course to maintain safety and cleanliness. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
