Runners packed the runway at Scottsdale Airpark April 5th for the our second Scottsdale Airport Run the Runway event. Participants ran the 10K and 5K directly on the runway, surrounded by aircrafts and mountain views.

The local team mascots from the Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Coyotes, GCU and Phoenix Mercury led the kids mascot dash.
