Runway 5k - Dixie - Berryhill

The Runway 5K is an annual running event held at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, offering a unique experience on one of the country's busiest airport runways. The flat and fast 5K course takes place entirely on the runway and taxiways, allowing participants to see planes taking off, landing, and queuing. The event is family-friendly, with children 12 and under required to be accompanied by a registered adult.

Parking is at Charlotte Premium Outlets, with shuttle buses transporting runners to the secure airfield. Limited to 1,500 participants, the race supports Airport Opportunity Scholarships with Central Piedmont Community College, promoting aviation careers for local students.
