THE COURSES
HALF MARATHON

Traffic: All public roads open to traffic (does not include the private roadways)

Run like the wind on a real airport runway! That’s right…the Flight Deck Half Marathon is one of the few races in the world that operates on a real runway. You’ll soar 5 miles on the Brunswick Landing tarmac including the inactive runway and taxiway! During the race, you might even see an airplane take off or land on the active portion of the runway.
Pacer Groups Provided (hrs): 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, 2:30, 2:40, 2:50, and 3:00

Once you’ve made it down the runway, you’ll enjoy a beautiful tour of the neighborhood surrounding the home of the Flight Deck Brewery. The course is incredibly flat (167 ft total gain) and optimal for a PR.
We’ll email you a comprehensive Race Info Packet a few days before the race containing all the small details you’ll need to know before you arrive—like where the portable restrooms will be, the best viewing areas for friends/family, and much more. So, keep an eye out!
Awards are given to the top 3 male and female overall, and the top male and female in the following age groups: 19 & under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.
5K
START TIME: 9:15 AM
RACE DETAILS
Start Address: Orion St and Seahawk Ave
Time Limit: no time limit (walkers welcome!)
Traffic: Open to traffic on public roadways along the last 1.5 miles
Like the half marathon, the 5K takes place in an active airport, so you may see an airplane take off or land on the active portion of the runway! In the first 1.5 miles, runners fly by massive airplane hangars, cross over the tarmac, and take off down an inactive taxiway before getting back onto public roads and crossing the finish line, where the flight crew will be waiting to welcome you to the after-party!

THE AFTER PARTY
Don’t worry about a crash landing once you cross the finish line! The after-party will be there to pick you up. You’ll calm those post-flight jitters in Flight Deck Brewing’s tasting room and outdoor beer garden, where you can claim your complimentary 16 oz craft beer (21+)! With music, a variety of delicious food and beverages, and brewery games like Giant Jenga, cornhole, and more, you’re sure to have a blast.
HOW IT WORKS: Have some delicious food, grab a refreshment, enjoy the music, and indulge in the complimentary Flight Deck Brewing beer from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM. The best part? It’s all included in with your registration!
Don’t miss out on the flash mob style dance party in the post-race beer garden. Our “Beer Fairy” will prance around the crowd and encourage people who appear to be comfortably seated to join in a spontaneous dance line – think Macarena, Electric Slide, and Cupid Shuffle. All the brave souls who join will receive an extra beer ticket from the “Beer Fairy”
