Looking for something to do outside on the Gulf Coast this weekend? Saturday brings an unusual option in Mobile, Alabama: a 5K held on an airport runway.
The BFM 5K on the Runway takes place at Mobile International Airport on Oct. 31. Organizers moved the race from early October to Halloween because of forecasted weather.
What to expect
The main event is a 5K on the runway, with a 1-mile fun run for those looking for a shorter distance. Proceeds benefit the Mobile Airport Authority Foundation, which supports local charities and scholarships.
Race-day registration and bib pickup begin at 7 a.m. Saturday. The 5K starts at 8 a.m., followed by the fun run at 9 a.m.
Online registration closes early Friday, Oct. 30. After that, participants can sign up in person at packet pickup or before the race.
