Run the Runway 2026... We Run for PIE!

Come run a 5k right on the runway at the Fort McMurray International Airport!

Starting at the North Terminal Apron (Old Terminal building), we'll run out onto the taxiway, turn left onto the runway, circle an airport fire truck at the end, run all the way back down the runway, around another firetruck, then back to the start point.

Due to runway closure limitations, all participants must be able to complete the event in under 50 minutes. Anyone who hasn't passed the taxiway we start on after 25 minutes will be redirected to the apron.

Strollers are permitted, however are required to be running strollers with wheels at least 9" in diameter. This is to allow for emergency evacuation of the runway through the uneven grassy infield in the event of an aircraft needing the runway for an emergency landing. Runners age limit is minimum 14 years old, younger kids permitted in strollers only. No bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, etc. are permitted. No headphones, earbuds etc are permitted in case of an emergency. No dogs or other animals are permitted to attend the event in any capacity as participants or spectators as it takes place inside the secure airport perimeter.
