2026 Ithaca Tompkins International Airport Runway 5K

Get ready to hit the tarmac running with the Runway 5k at Ithaca Tompkins International Airport! You have the unique chance to sprint down the runway and taxiway on a flat and fast course, designed for just 515 runners to take flight. Secure your spot and a snazzy T-shirt by registering before the August 16th midnight deadline. Speed through the age categories – from the young guns to the seasoned vets – and if you’re the first male or female to jet past the finish line, you’ll snag a cool $250 travel voucher. Every stride you take helps fund aspiring pilots' dreams; we're on a mission to raise $50,000 to combat the nation’s pilot shortage. Let’s race for a cause, where every runner makes a difference, and every step gets us closer to our goal!
