10th Annual Airport Runway Run at San Carlos Airport
The 10th Annual Airport Runway Run at San Carlos Airport is set to take off once again, bringing together runners, walkers, and families for a truly unforgettable experience. Hosted at the iconic Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos Airport, CA, this one-of-a-kind event combines fitness, fun, and aviation in a way that few other events can match.
Scheduled for Sun, 12 Apr • 07:00 AM (PDT), the event invites participants to lace up their running shoes and hit an actual airport runway—an opportunity that is both rare and exhilarating. Whether you are a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or simply looking for a relaxed stroll with family and friends, this event has something for everyone.
What makes the Airport Runway Run so special is its setting. Instead of the usual city streets or park trails, participants will run, walk, or stroll along the runway of San Carlos Airport. This unique environment offers wide-open views, fresh morning air, and the thrill of being on a runway where aircraft typically take off and land. It’s not just a race—it’s an experience that captures the imagination of both aviation enthusiasts and casual participants alike.
Express your need for speed with a unique 2K/5K/10K event that’s fun and healthy for the whole family. Whether you choose the shorter 2K for a relaxed pace or challenge yourself with the 5K or 10K distances, each option is designed to be inclusive and enjoyable. Families with children, groups of friends, and individual runners will all find a category that suits their pace and preference.
In addition to the excitement of the run itself, participants can take pride in supporting a meaningful cause. Proceeds of the Airport Runway Run benefit Hiller Aviation Museum, a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization that provides science and aviation programming. By joining the event, you are directly contributing to programs that inspire curiosity, learning, and innovation in the fields of science and aviation.
The museum plays a vital role in the community by offering hands-on exhibits, educational workshops, and engaging programs for learners of all ages. Events like the Runway Run help sustain these initiatives, ensuring that future generations continue to have access to high-quality educational experiences.
