2026 Run the Runway at Corpus Christi International Airport
Welcome Runners
The event’s opening description invites visitors to enjoy a scenic run or walk on one of the airport’s runways and discover aviation up close, with planes, trucks, special vehicles, and more at Corpus Christi International Airport. That introduction identifies the date as September 27th; the detailed event listing gives the event date as Saturday, September 26, 2026.
A 1K Kids Fun Run will begin the festivities, followed by an out-and-back 5K walk or run. Every dollar raised will support Wings of Texas, a local non-profit working to make the Coastal Bend a more inclusive place to live, work, play, and learn.
