Race The Runways Half Marathon and 5K is a running race on May 8, 2027 in Brunswick, ME, with entry fees from $35 to $60.
Race the Runways is back! Once a beloved Midcoast running tradition, this unique race returns to Brunswick Landing on Saturday, May 8, 2027, with a Half Marathon and 5K. Both courses are flat and fast, with plenty of room to settle into your pace and enjoy a course you won’t find at your average road race. For one morning, the runway belongs to the runners. (The planes will have to wait.)
Whether you remember Race the Runways from years past or you’re joining us for the first time, we’re excited to bring this local favorite back. Come run with friends, train for your next race, take on a new distance, or just enjoy the novelty of running on a runway. It’s a pretty great setting for a race.
Race the Runways is organized by Tedford Housing, a Brunswick-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering people to move from homelessness to home. Tedford supports neighbors across the Midcoast through several core programs: homelessness prevention and outreach, emergency shelter for adults and families, permanent supportive housing, and winter warmth services. Your participation helps make that work possible. So lace up, hit the runway, and help support a cause that matters right here in our community.
Register early for the best price! Half Marathon registration is $60 and 5K registration is $35 through January 31, 2027. On February 1, registration increases to $70 for the Half Marathon and $45 for the 5K.
