3:52Now PlayingThe Denver Colfax Marathon, Denver International Airport (DIA) and United Airlines will partner to give runners the unique experience of running a race on an airport runway. The 5K On The Runway is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, when runners will gather at 7 a.m. for a sunrise 5K on a runway at the Denver airport.
The 5K On The Runway was held only one other time in Denver airport's history, in 2022. The last runway race held in 2022 sold out in 13 hours.
Pre-and post race-day festivities in the United Airlines hangar include a hot breakfast post-race, medal, and runway shirt.
“This is an extraordinarily rare opportunity,” said Andrea Dowdy, CEO of the Denver Colfax Marathon. “This has happened only one other time in [DIA]'s history, and we can’t wait for runners to fly down the runway in a 5K that’s truly one‑of‑a‑kind.”
The 10th biggest airport in the world, Denver International Airport is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its airline partners to ensure the race will not disrupt service.
