Sunset Runway 5k
The Sunset Runway 5k takes place at the Greater Binghamton Airport (BGM) in Johnson City, New York. This event provides the rare opportunity for participants to access the airport tarmac and runways for a sporting event. The course is characterized as flat and fast, consisting of two laps on the airport grounds that offer views of the surrounding hills during the sunset.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- 0.5 Miles (Kids Run)
- 1.5 Miles (Runway Walk)
- 3.1 Miles (5k Run)
The 0.5 Miles kids event is designed for children interested in airplanes or those who want to experience the scale of the airport runways. All registered participants receive a race shirt and a commemorative medal. After the physical activities conclude, there is a post-race party for those who registered by the shirt deadline.
Packet pickup is available at a local running store in Johnson City on the day before the event, with additional pickup opportunities and registration available at the airport on the day of the race. The event is held on the tarmac, providing an environment typically restricted to aircraft and airport personnel. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
