12th Annual Pensacola International Airport Runway 5K Benefitting USO Northwest Florida
On Saturday, Dec. 7, hundreds of runners and walkers will take off on the runway of Pensacola International Airport to complete the Runway 5K.
The 12th Annual Runway 5K, sponsored by Pensacola International Airport, the City of Pensacola, and benefitting the USO of Northwest Florida, gives runners a different view of the airport while having fun and supporting a great organization. All proceeds go to USO Northwest Florida whose mission is to strengthen the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families.
“The Runway 5K is one of those events that is extremely special here at the Airport, and we are excited to once again be able to partner with USO Northwest Florida to benefit their mission. It is going to be a great event, and we look forward to seeing everyone,” Pensacola International Airport Director Matt Coughlin said.
All participants receive a T-shirt, timing BIB, a special finisher’s medal, and FREE food before and after the run. There will be special awards in several categories. Walkers, strollers and kids are welcome.
The post-run event will have lots of fun activities for the whole family.
