Run the Runway: A Unique Racing Experience at Sedona Airport

Get ready for one of Arizona's most distinctive racing events - Run the Runway at Sedona Airport! On Saturday, February 1, 2025, runners and walkers of all abilities will have the extraordinary opportunity to race on an active airport runway, surrounded by Sedona's famous red rock formations.


What makes this event truly special is its accessibility to everyone. While many races focus solely on competitive athletes, Run the Runway welcomes participants of all fitness levels. The one-mile course is perfect for families looking for a fun afternoon activity, casual walkers wanting to experience something unique, and serious runners aiming to set a personal record in an unforgettable setting.


The event thoughtfully caters to different groups with specialized categories. Dog lovers can bring their four-legged running partners for a memorable walk, while children have their own dedicated races. For those seeking a competitive edge, the open sprint categories provide an opportunity to test their speed on this unusual racing surface.


Taking place after the RunSedona Half Marathon/10k/5k, this event offers a perfect complement to the morning's longer-distance races. It's also an ideal standalone activity for those who prefer shorter distances but still want to be part of Sedona's vibrant running community.


The real star of the show is the setting itself. Sedona Airport's runway provides a flat, fast course with unparalleled 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Where else can you sprint down an airport runway while taking in views of Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the entire Verde Valley?


Whether you're chasing a new personal best, enjoying a family walk, or simply want to experience something completely different, Run the Runway promises to be an unforgettable addition to your racing calendar. Don't miss this chance to participate in Sedona's most unique running event of 2025!


Registration details and specific race times can be found on the event website. Given the distinctive nature of this event and the limited runway space, early registration is recommended to secure your spot in this one-of-a-kind racing experience.  Want help planning your trip to Sedona?
