Sponsored by Pensacola International Airport and the City of Pensacola, the 5K aims to honor and remember National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day day with a unique and fun run that takes place on the runway. All proceeds go to USO Northwest Florida, whose mission is to keep local military connected to family, home and country throughout their service to the nation.
“The Runway 5K is one of those events that is extremely special here at the airport, and we are excited to once again be able to partner with USO Northwest Florida to benefit their mission,” Airport Director Matt Coughlin Said. “It is going to be a great event, and we look forward to seeing everyone on the runway.”
All participants will receive a T-shirt, timing bib, and a special finisher’s medal. There will be special awards in several categories. Walkers, strollers and children are welcome.
Packets will be available for pickup on Friday, Dec. 2 from 3-6 p.m. at Running Wild, located at 3012 E. Cervantes St. On the day of the race, packets can be picked up at the airport between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
