From the Organizer
Have you ever wanted to see the Crossville Airport up close or run on an actual runway? ✈️
The Run the Runway 5K is your chance to do both while supporting a great cause. On Saturday, September 26th, the Crossville Memorial Airport runway will be closed from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM so racers can compete, raise awareness for local aviation opportunities, and support the next generation of pilots.
Racers MUST show up at 7:00AM to complete check-in, we have a limited amount of time per our FAA approval and the race MUST start at 8:00AM sharp.
All proceeds benefit the aviation programs at both local high schools. Come out, support the City of Crossville and the Crossville Airport, and help us make this an event to look forward to every year.
