About the Event

The PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway will take place on March 28, 2026, on the airport’s 9,000-foot parallel runway. This certified run benefits The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Greensboro Urban Ministry, and Open Door Ministries of High Point.

Everyone is invited to run or walk on the runway. The flat and smooth surface is ideal for achieving a personal best time, and the course is wheelchair accessible and baby stroller friendly. This event offers a unique opportunity to get a close-up view of the airport and runways, available only once a year.

Due to the secure location and safety reasons, bikes, rollerblades, and inline skates are not allowed. Additionally, dogs and other pets are strictly prohibited.

About Greensboro

Greensboro is a city of almost 300,000 people (2020) in North Carolina. It is named after Nathanael Greene, a Patriot general who fought a battle here during the Revolutionary War. It's nicknamed the "Gate City" for its historical role as a transportation hub for the Piedmont. The famous author William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry, was born here. It can be sleepy and genteel but is enjoying a newfound reputation as a great place for young people. Downtown especially is experiencing a surfeit of bars, music venues and restaurants. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point are the three cities that make up the Piedmont Triad, halfway between Raleigh and Charlotte.
