The Casper Natrona County International Airport is encouraging people to get out and get some exercise with its ‘Run The Runway’ 5K event on July 11. This unique event will give participants a chance to run or walk on the airport’s runway, with a front-row view of the airport’s operations.

Event Details

The registration period for the event is now open and will end on July 6. There will be no same-day registration, so participants are encouraged to sign up in advance. The registration fee is $15 (plus service fees) for participants aged 6+, and kids 5 and under are free. Check-in begins at 8:30, and the first run/walker will start at 9.

In addition to the run/walk, there will be sponsor booths, airport fire trucks, snacks, and freebies. All proceeds from the event will go to the Fly Casper Alliance Scholarship Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps offset the high cost of flight time for students at Casper College pursuing a Commercial Pilot License through the Aviation program.
