Run the Runway - Scottsdale
Run the Runway takes place at Scottsdale Airport on October 25, 2026. The event features two distances held on the airport grounds and a post-race festival with an aircraft showcase and entertainment. All participants receive a race shirt, a finisher medal, and post-race refreshments. The event is presented with local running partners and is described as supporting community organizations.
Event distances:
- 5K (3.1 miles) course on airport tarmac
- Kids 1 Mile for ages 12 and under
The race supports local charities. Thunderbird Field II Veterans Memorial preserves aviation history in Scottsdale, honors veterans, and provides scholarships for students pursuing aviation and aerospace careers. Opportunity 4 Kids provides Arizona youth in need with resources such as financial scholarships, summer camps, afterschool programs, extracurricular activities, and required equipment and uniforms.
The format combines on-tarmac running with family-focused activities and community fundraising. Information on eligibility and age categories is provided for each distance, and race-day offerings include a showcase of aircraft and entertainment at the festival area.
