DULLES
5K / 10K
ON THE RUNWAY
Five years ago Carol Welti of the Washington Airports Task Force had an idea to enhance the Dulles Day Plane Pull ® by adding a 5k on the runway . A 10k was added the second year and today the Dulles Day 5k / 10k on the Runway is the flattest , fastest race course in the area . The race begins at the Steven F . Udvar-Hazy Center ( located in Chantilly , VA , and part of the Smithsonian ’ s National Air and Space Museum ) and continues onto a runway at Dulles International Airport , but don ’ t worry , no planes will be landing on this route ! Get a unique look at the airport grounds , run past planes and along the actual landing strip on this certified looped course . 2,500 runners and walkers can choose to compete in either a 5k or 10k race . All proceeds benefit Special Olympics Virginia , the Committee for Dulles Community Outreach , and the Washington Airports Task Force .
Visit www . dullesrunwayrun . org for detailed information on the race and how to sign up . The Dulles 5K / 10K is one of the most exclusive races in the metro area , and registration fills up quickly , so don ’ t delay .
