    The 11th Annual Take Flight 5k.

    Let your feet take flight on the Greenville Downtown Airport runway for one of the most unique running experiences and flattest 5k races around.

    We earned enough last year to start the park expansion, add a picnic hangar, and fix some playground equipment! Let's add some swings and new playground equipment this year!!

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.

ALWAYS visit the race's website for the most complete and accurate race information.
