Westover Run the Runway
About this race
Grab onto your sneakers, folks! Westover Run the Runway 5K is back again! Get ready for a one-of-a-kind dash across an operational federal military installation. Whether you're a speedster, a leisurely walker, or a family of fun-seekers, this flat, paved course is perfect for you—and yes, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome!
This fun-run isn't just about clocking miles; it's also about doing good. Proceeds will go to Westover Galaxy Community Council to lift up our Westover military families and help launch the sky-high excitement for the 2027 Great New England Air Show.
Register by September 1 and take home a Race T-Shirt! We designed a super cool shirt this year to lead into the 2027 Great New England Air Show! Don't miss your chance to get a t-shirt in your size! And Save $$$. Registration price increases after September 1.
Kick-off and finish line are at the Westover Metropolitan Airport—the civilian side of things. But, you'll be strutting into a military zone, so expect James Bond-level security! Pre-run vetting is mandatory and Real IDs are required, and leave those carry-ons behind because nothing’s allowed to tag along during the run. We've got a handy key and bag check for you. Wheelchair and stroller users, please plan to arrive early for clearance. And sorry, Fido, this isn't a puppy parade—please leave pets at home this time around!
What's NEW this year? We are hosting a charity Car Show starting at 9:00am on the other side of the airport. Hang out after the run and enjoy a variety of awesome cars competing for best in decade, rockin' 50s, 60s and 70s music, food trucks, raffles and more! Car Show runs from 9am - 1pm!
