Take flight at the Houston Airports Aviator 5K Run

A one-of-a-kind opportunity to race down the runway at Ellington Airport while giving back to the community.

February 19, 2025

 

The Houston Airports Aviator Run is back and bigger than ever in 2025! This is the third year of the community event. Don’t miss your chance to lace up and run, walk or stroll down the runway at Ellington Airport (EFD), home to the Houston Spaceport, which celebrates its 10 anniversary this year.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun way to get your steps in, this one-of-a-kind 5k fun run experience—which spans 3.1 miles—is open to individuals, families, corporate teams and groups. And yes, strollers are welcome—so bring the whole crew! Ages six and under are free to run. No pets are allowed on the airfield. Due to the location of the run, all runners are subject to search for security and safety reasons.

Run for a Cause

Your $40 registration fee isn’t just for fun—it’s for a purpose. All proceeds will benefit the airport community through the Wings of Compassion – a Houston Airports charity organization, which provides scholarships and financial aid to airport employees. The registration fee increases to $50 on March 1. This event is hosted in partnership with the City of Houston Combined Municipal Campaign.
