Denver 5K On The Runway
The Denver 5K On The Runway is a timed road event held on a runway at Denver International Airport, located at 8500 Peña Blvd, Denver, CO. The runway has been closed for this 5K only once previously; that earlier edition sold out in 13 hours. The 2026 edition is listed as full.
The event distance is 5K. All registrants must be 8 years or older; youth entries cover ages 8 to 17 and youth participants must be in carpools. Strollers are not permitted. Organizers state they reserve the right to refund and decline a runner’s registration for safety reasons.
Post-race activities include music, breakfast, and snacks, and participants receive a shirt and a medal. Parking arrangements were provided near the start line, with both close-in carpool parking and satellite parking with shuttle service offered as registration options. Registration pricing included event entry plus processing fees and separate parking pass choices.
The description reflects event features, participant requirements, on-site amenities, and the unusual nature of running on an airport runway. It does not reference start time or event contact details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
