Event Overview
The PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway is a sports event taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, in Greensboro. The course is located at 7807 Airport Center Drive on the airport’s 9,000-foot parallel runway. This event offers a close-up view of the airfield and surrounding airport area, an opportunity available only once a year.
The competition features several options for participants:
- 10k Run (Timed)
- 5k Run (Timed)
- Walk to Win Against Hunger (Untimed)
- Kids 100-Yard Dash (For ages 12 and under)
Course Conditions
The race course is conducted on the airport runway, providing a flat and smooth surface. The entire route is wheelchair accessible and baby stroller friendly. However, strollers must have wheels with a minimum diameter of 6 inches. Due to the secure location and safety requirements, bicycles, rollerblades, inline skates, and pets are not permitted on the course.
Logistics and Participation
This certified run benefits local organizations, including The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Greensboro Urban Ministry, and Open Door Ministries of High Point. Participants in the untimed walk are encouraged to take part in fundraising efforts for these causes.
As the race is held on an active runway, time limits are in place. Any participant who has not finished by 10:30 a.m. will be moved back to the start or finish line by a vehicle. Registrants have the option to pick up their materials at designated in-person sessions or have their bib and shirt mailed to them for an additional fee.
