Take Flight 5k

The Take Flight 5k & 1 Mile Run is an annual event held at the Greenville Downtown Airport in Greenville, South Carolina. Known for its unique and flat course on the airport runway, it offers a fun and competitive atmosphere with costume participation encouraged. The event includes a 5k race and a 1-mile run, welcoming runners, walkers, and strollers, though pets are not allowed.

The race weekend features a ceremony honoring fallen veterans, including a parachute team jump and a missing comrade ceremony. Awards are given for overall and age group categories, with proceeds supporting Runway Park maintenance and improvements. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
