AirVenture Runway 5K

 

EAA AirVenture Runway 5K | July 29, 2023

Experience what becomes the world's busiest airport from a unique perspective. Whether this is your first or 17th Runway 5K, this charity fun run/walk is a great way to kick-start your day! This year, the Runway 5K will be held on Saturday, July 29, during AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. The race kicks off at 7:00 a.m. at the Ultralight Barn and we encourage everyone, including walkers, first-time runners, and seasoned athletes, to participate.

The course takes you through a tour of the AirVenture campus. You’ll have to chance to catch the early-morning sun rising above evergreen trees and open fields, run or walk through unique and incredible aircraft, and be cheered on by the EAA AirVenture community.

We invite you to stay the entirety of the day and explore everything that AirVenture has to offer. Shower facilities are available on our grounds. Gear Check closes at 9:30 a.m. If anything at Gear Check is left behind after that time, the items will be given to the main Lost & Found, which is located behind the Lifetime Member Oasis.

Registration includes an official event T-shirt, post-race food and refreshments, and admission to AirVenture on race day. Please note that T-shirt size is NOT guaranteed for those who register after June 21, 2023.

*Medals are NOT guaranteed.*

Proceeds from this year’s run will benefit the Winnebago County Sherriff’s K-9 Unit.

Online registration ends on Friday, July 28, 2023, at 3 p.m. CDT. After this time, registration will reopen at the Runway 5K check-in on Saturday morning before the race.
