Runners, aviation enthusiasts, and community members alike will have the unique opportunity to race down the runway at Branson Airport during the Runway for Hope 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run, set for Saturday, May 3rd. Branson Airport is opening its runway for a limited-time event before regular flight operations begin for the day. This one-of-a-kind event will take place on the tarmac of the active airport, offering participants an unforgettable experience. Runners will enjoy a flat, fast, and scenic course with a rare chance to experience an airport from a new perspective.

Proceeds support the establishment of a dedicated children’s therapy area. Funds will go toward renovating the space, purchase furnishings, decor, toys, and support the salaries of two licensed therapists.
