AirVenture Runway 5K
The AirVenture Runway 5K is a charity run and walk held during EAA AirVenture. The event follows a new course through the AirVenture grounds and offers participants a route that passes among parked and displayed aircraft, giving a close-up view of the event site and its aircraft collection. The distance is 5K and the format welcomes both runners and walkers.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Oshkosh Firefighters Charitable Trust. Organizers provide on-site amenities including shower facilities and a gear check; items left at gear check are transferred to the main Lost and Found located across Knapp Street from the FAA control tower. Free parking is available in J Lot on the morning of the event and participants are encouraged to carpool.
Packet pickup is available in the EAA Aviation Museum lobby during AirVenture and requires a photo ID or registration receipt. A map of the racecourse, start location, and nearby parking is provided for the new course. Volunteer opportunities and a range of event sponsors support the Runway 5K, with Blackhawk listed as an awards sponsor and Scheels as a refreshment sponsor.
