5K on the Runway
The Newport News – Williamsburg Airport is hosting its annual 5K on the Runway in partnership with Youth Volunteer Corp of Hampton Roads. This year’s 5k on the Runway race will be held September 17, 2022 . Past year races sold out, drawing over 800 runners, and thanks to generous corporate support led by Title Sponsor Ferguson Enterprises, raised over $10K for Peake Childhood Center. This race is a unique opportunity to see the airport like you’ve never seen it before; run on airport taxiways and runways for a one-of-a-kind experience. Event details below.
