Houston Airports Aviator Run

The Houston Airports Aviator Run is an annual charity event held at Ellington Airport in Houston, Texas. This sports event provides a unique opportunity for participants to run or walk directly on an active airport runway. The race is open to runners, walkers, and those using strollers.

Participants can choose between two main distances:

The event serves as a fundraiser for the City of Houston Combined Municipal Campaign. All registration fees and funds raised are directed toward Wings of Compassion - Houston Airports. This organization provides scholarships and emergency assistance to airport employees and their families during times of need.

Recognition is given to top performers, with prizes awarded to the first-place male and female finishers in each event distance. Additionally, sponsors with the highest level of group participation are also eligible for a prize. The event is located at 6011 Farley Road, near the Houston Spaceport.
