About the race
Run the Runway is a runway race at Midland Airpark in Midland, Texas, held on Saturday, August 28, 2027. Presented by ConocoPhillips, the event features both a timed runway 5K and a family-friendly 1-Mile fun run on the airport tarmac.
The event coincides with Fly Into Fall, a free family-oriented aviation celebration the same morning that includes aircraft displays, flight simulators, drone experiences, airport fire truck demonstrations, classic cars, kids activities, food trucks, and coffee.
Distances:
- 5K timed runway race
- 1 Mile family-friendly fun run
Packet pickup is available the day before at Midland Athletic Company (3326 N Midkiff, Midland, TX) and on race morning at Midland Airpark (901 Veterans Airpark Ln, Midland, TX). Early packet pickup is encouraged because the airpark has a single access road and limited parking.
Strollers and dogs are allowed; leash laws apply and participants using strollers or accompanied by dogs are asked to start toward the back for safety and flow. The event takes place in an active airport environment, so aviation operations and airport procedures take priority. All participants must complete a waiver. Entry fees are non-refundable and the event is scheduled to proceed rain or shine; if the event is canceled or adjusted for safety or airport operational reasons, participant packets will be made available for pickup.
