Race The Runways Half Marathon and 5K
Race The Runways takes place on May 8, 2027, at Brunswick Landing in Brunswick, Maine. The event includes a half marathon and a 5K run conducted on airport runways that are open for runners for the morning.
The event distances are:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 miles
- 5K: 3.1 miles
Both courses are described as flat and fast, providing wide, unobstructed surfaces that allow runners to maintain a steady pace on a runway setting distinct from typical road races.
The event is organized by Tedford Housing, a Brunswick-based nonprofit. Tedford Housing’s core programs include homelessness prevention and outreach, emergency shelter for adults and families, permanent supportive housing, and winter warmth services. Participation in the event supports the organization’s local programs.
