5K on the Runway

TPA’s 5K on the Runway is a chip-timed road race held on runway 10/28 at Tampa International Airport on April 3, 2027. Registration opens January 15, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time through RunSignUp. The in-person field is limited to the first 2,000 registrants and the race fee is $60. A virtual 5K option is also offered.

Awards include airplane trophies for overall top three men and women, overall wheelchair top man and top woman, and top finishers in youth divisions. Age-group recognition is given for top three women and men in standard age brackets, with winners receiving a certificate and a free race spot for the next year. Every finisher receives a medal and race shirts are dri-fit. The event is chip-timed with timing mats at the start and finish; overall awards use gun time while age-group ranking uses chip time.

Parking for the event is at Hillsborough Community College, Dale Mabry Campus, with walking access to the entrance; parking for the event is free. A Gear Check station is available for small personal items. Volunteers can sign up for various positions, with youth volunteers required to be at least 14 years old and children under 14 accompanied by an adult volunteer.

Raffle tickets are sold at packet pick-up, on event day, and online, with proceeds benefiting United Way Suncoast. Registration is non-transferrable and non-refundable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
