About the event

The Hanger 5K offers runners an exhilarating course through the bustling grounds of Sanford Municipal Airport. On July 25, 2027, participants will start at 10AM sharp from 199 Airport Road, with race day registration beginning at 9AM for those who haven't pre-registered. The route winds around the airport's runways and taxiways, providing a unique backdrop of aircraft taking off and landing as you sprint past.
After crossing the finish line, runners can refuel with food from on-site trucks while enjoying the scenic views and perhaps even booking helicopter rides offered by Pine Tree Helicopters (cost to be determined in 2027). All participants will receive custom race bibs that commemorate this special event. Awards are given to top overall male and female finishers, as well as first place winners in each age group: 1-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-99.
Please note that if the race is cancelled due to extreme weather or other uncontrollable circumstances, refunds will not be issued. Join us for a day filled with excitement and aviation-themed fun at Sanford Municipal Airport!
The Hanger 5K promises an unforgettable experience where running meets air travel in one of Maine's most distinctive settings.
