Grab onto your sneakers, folks! Westover Run the Runway 5K is back again! Get ready for a one-of-a-kind dash across an operational federal military installation. Whether you're a speedster, a leisurely walker, or a family of fun-seekers, this flat, paved course is perfect for you—and yes, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome!

This fun-run isn't just about clocking miles; it's also about doing good. Proceeds will go to Westover Galaxy Community Council to lift up our Westover military families and help launch the sky-high excitement for the 2027 Great New England Air Show.

Register by September 1 and take home a Race T-Shirt! We designed a super cool shirt this year to lead into the 2027 Great New England Air Show! Don't miss your chance to get a t-shirt in your size! And Save $$$. Registration price increases after September 1.

Kick-off and finish line are at the Westover Metropolitan Airport—the civilian side of things. But, you'll be strutting into a military zone, so expect James Bond-level security! Pre-run vetting is mandatory and Real IDs are required, and leave those carry-ons behind because nothing’s allowed to tag along during the run. We've got a handy key and bag check for you. Wheelchair and stroller users, please plan to arrive early for clearance. And sorry, Fido, this isn't a puppy parade—please leave pets at home this time around!

What's NEW this year? We are hosting a charity Car Show starting at 9:00am on the other side of the airport. Hang out after the run and enjoy a variety of awesome cars competing for best in decade, rockin' 50s, 60s and 70s music, food trucks, raffles and more! Car Show runs from 9am - 1pm!

    The Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Walk/Run Challenge is a race inspired by the life of Sgt. Joshua D.

    Desforges, a United States Marine that was killed in combat in Afghanistan in May 2010. Josh chased his

    dream to become a Marine and every day, “lived life full throttle”. This event is not an average 5K

    run/walk. This event is better described as a 3+ mile road and trail run, with a twist of Marine Corps

    inspired obstacles and challenges sure to test mettle. 100% of the proceeds of this event have gone, and

    will continue to go, directly into the Sgt. Joshua D. Desforges Scholarship fund.

    All proceeds go to graduating Ludlow High Seniors that are pursuing their life’s passion as Josh was by becoming a United Staes Marine.. This scholarship is different as It is open to any student regardless of college. They could be going to a trade school, joining the military, starting their own business etc.

    The scholarship is a way of honoring Josh’s life while giving back to the community that supported us tremendously when we lost him.
