5K on the Runway

Take off on Saturday, May 3, 2025, for the 2025 5K on the Runway, presented by the Evansville Wartime Museum, benefiting the Evansville P-47 Foundation, Inc. giving runners a unique view of the airport and the Evansville Wartime Museum, while having fun and supporting a great, local organization. At 9am join hundreds of runners and walkers as they take off from the Evansville Wartime Museum with supporters cheering everyone along. The route will take you along the Evansville Regional Airport runways, taxiways, and ramps, while catching a glimpse at the Air Traffic Control Tower and the Airport Safety Department. You will see the Evansville built P-47 Thunderbolt, “Hoosier Spirit II," as well as the 1943 Chrysler M4AF Sherman Tank, “Rosie’s Revenge.” All proceeds from the 5K on the Runway will support the mission of the P-47 Foundation by protecting and procuring in perpetuity the P-47 Thunderbolt in an effort to honor those who served and to educate current and future generations in the sense of community price, recognition and respect attributed to all who sacrificed in the name of Freedom. Stick around afterwards for award presentations, delicious food, coffee, and vendors with their running apparel and other community programs. https://runsignup.com/5kontherunwayp47
