The 2026 MGM Runway 5K starts at 7:30 AM on May 30th in Montgomery, Alabama, so plan your arrival the evening before if you're traveling in. This 5K race takes place at Montgomery Regional Airport, offering a unique venue for the event. Entry fees range from free to $45, making it an accessible option for most runners. As a spring race in late May, Montgomery will be warm, so arrive hydrated and acclimated if you're coming from a cooler climate.

The early start time means you'll want a hotel close enough for a quick, stress-free drive before the race begins.

From the Race Organizer
The Montgomery Regional Airport is excited to host its second annual Runway 5K. The MGM Runway 5K is on a closed course located on the airfield with roughly four miles of runway. Racers will run on Taxiway Bravo Echo, and Runway 3-21 south, which are all located beside our active Runway 3-21. Runners will have a chance to run beside aircraft and get a close-up view of aircraft landing and taking off. The uniqueness of this event allows runners to experience the airport grounds, amazing views of the MGM terminal and participate in a 5K race like no other! You must register as a runner to participate. Children 14 and under must be registered and accompanied by a registered adult. Children 5 and under free with registered adult. The race will be limited to the first 300 participants. Early registration is encouraged! Registered participants will be able to run or walk the runway. 2024 MGM Runway 5K Recap
