Race of The Runways 5K
Race of The Runways is the 17th anniversary event at Flagler Executive Airport in Palm Coast, Florida. The event features an evening 5K on illuminated airport runways with a circling helicopter searchlight. The setting emphasizes visible lighting and themed attire rather than daytime scenery.
Distances and event options:
- 5K Run/Walk 5 kilometers
- Kiddie Dash 100 yards
- Virtual 5K 3.1 miles
- Guest/Non-Runner After Party
Participants are encouraged to wear glow-in-the-dark clothing and light-up costumes; prizes will be awarded for best costumes. Glow sticks are not allowed. Timing and scoring use a disposable chip attached to the numbered bib. Finishers receive a medal.
Registration and packet pick up occur at the Flagler Executive Airport. Packet pick up is scheduled on the Friday before the race and also on race day beginning midafternoon. Virtual participants may request shipping for medals and shirts or pick them up at specified pickup windows after the event.
Tee shirts are guaranteed for registrants who complete payment by January 31, 2027; Kiddie Dash participants are excluded from the shirt guarantee. Free parking is available at the airport. Because this is an airport location, dogs are not allowed; strollers are welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
