Join us for the Centennial Airport Runway 5K in support of the Centennial Airport Foundation. Last year's 5K event sold out quickly, raising enough money to kick off three new aviation scholarships. After receiving raving reviews we had to bring it back in 2025!
Runners and walkers alike will cover the 5K course on a Runway at one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world, receive a limited-edition race t-shirt, finisher medal, beer (21+), food, ice cream, explore the Wings Over the Rockies™ Exploration of Flight, and view unique aircraft and vendors.
When: Saturday, June 7th, 2025. Race starts at 9am and will be immediately followed by post-race festivities until 12pm.
Where: Race Start/Finish at Wings Over the Rockies™ Exploration of Flight.
13005 Wings Way, Englewood 80112.
Parking: Free parking will be available, and we strongly encourage carpooling. Parking location and shuttle information will be provided soon.
Special Appearances:
