5th Annual TPA 5K on the Runway

On Saturday, April 22, 2017 runners will meet on Runway 1L/19R for the 5th Annual Tampa International Airport 5K on the Runway. Entries are limited to 2,000 runners. This is a chip-timed race.

All runners must finish in an hour, or they will be picked up in a courtesy cart and taken to the finish line. (Planes need to use the runway after the race.)

Early registration is $35 (increases to $40 on April 10). Registration includes a drifit shirt, finisher medal, and a rare view of Tampa International Airport from the runway. There will be picture spots, raffles for airline tickets, and a post race party.
The event will end at 10:30 so the airport can return to normal operations.

Parking is free. Use the en
trance off of Hillsborough Avenue; take Hoover Blvd. South. Follow the signs. The event is not 
accessible from the main terminal.
​

Important Notes:

  • Spectators are welcome and will have a good viewing spot.
  • Absolutely, positively, NO strollers, rollerblades, skateboards, bikes or pets.
  • No selfie sticks for safety reasons. 
  • If you deviate from the course, you'll be removed.
  • All bibs are non-transferrable; entries are non-refundable.
