The Rotary Club of Flagler Beach is is hosting the club's 10th Annual Race of the Runways for Rotary 5K at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at the Flagler Executive Airport, located at 201 Airport Rd., Palm Coast.
This is a unique evening 5K where participants run or walk along illuminated airport runways under the searchlight of a circling helicopter.
In past years, the club has hosted an after party with food and drinks, however, this year due to COVID-19, all participants will receive a 'Party-Pack-2-Go'.
The cost to register is $30 before Feb. 9, $20 for those 12 and under and $5 for a 50- or 100-yard Kiddie Dash. A virtual option is available for those unable to join us at the airport on Feb. 20. To learn more about our club, sponsorship opportunities, to make a donation or register for the Race of the Runways, visit www.Runway5kFlagler.com. The race will be held rain or shine. Covid Guidelines will be in place and are detailed on the race website.
Each year, the club debuts a new collector's medal for all participants. This year, the medal is Stearman biplane, the most prolific primary training aircraft of World War II and the United States' most produced biplane. Today it is the most recognizable biplane still flying, often appearing at airshows and fly-ins, with many tucked away in hangars all across the country.
