Congratulations to all who registered and participated in the 2025 Philadelphia International Airport Runway 5K. (View results)
Also many thanks to the sponsors and volunteers that made this event possible!
Welcome to the PHL5K! Participants get to experience running on a tarmac while seeing commercial and general aviation aircrafts taking off and landing on different runways!
While there, be sure to check out the impressive displays of fire apparatus, snow removal equipment and airline ground support equipment. This is truly a once in a life time opportunity!
Bring the entire family! You'll find something for everyone of all ages:
- Kids dash (races categories ages 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10)
- Face painting
- Mascots
- Other kids activities
(new this year!) We're excited to announce there will be a food truck onsite! La Liégeois waffles will be selling pre and post race treats.
We have also expanded our kids activities! Bring your children to participate in the FREE Kids Dash, with races categories for ages 1-10 years old. Kids events take place outside the tarmac area in our enclosed parking area, now designed just for fun! The area will bring the feel of the airfield race to your little ones!
First 50 kids participating in the kids’ race will receive a super cape and be treated to a guest appearance by a special surprise guest character. Hmmmm... who could it be?
