About the PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway

The course runs on an actual airport runway, which makes this one of the more unusual road events you will find. The surface is smooth and wide, the grade is essentially flat the whole way, and the views out across the airfield are unlike anything you get at a park or street race. Bikes, rollerblades, and pets are not allowed, since the runway remains a secure facility.

Parking is at the Truist Leadership Institute lot on Airport Center Drive, and shuttles run from there to the runway. You cannot walk to the start, so plan to arrive with enough time to catch a bus before the race begins. Packet pickup happens at Fleet Feet in High Point and at the airport departure terminal in the days before the race; there is no pickup on race day itself.

Common Questions About the PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway

Will I finish last at the PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:14:14, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway a good first 5K?

With 840 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the PTI 5k/10k Run on the Runway?

The 5K winner ran 17:05 while the median finisher took 36:17. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
