The Rotary Run the Runway features a distinctive course set on the Hamilton Airport’s actual runway, providing participants with a unique flat and fast racing surface. The tarmac route is both stroller and wheelchair accessible, ensuring inclusivity for all participants, though it is important to note that pets are not permitted at the event.
This event is organized by local Rotary Clubs and serves as a fundraiser for a variety of local charitable initiatives. The atmosphere is community-focused, welcoming runners, walkers, and families of all fitness levels to join in a rare experience of racing on an airport runway, free from vehicular traffic.
