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 Red Bridge Run Club is back for the 2nd Annual Ludlow Clocktower Classic 5k! Again this year, we are lacing up to support the incredible mission of the Ludlow Boys & Girls Club—and we want you with us.

• The Route: Experience Ludlow’s history as you sprint (or stroll) past the historic Ludlow Mills, cruise down the scenic Riverwalk, and salute the iconic Clocktower.

• The Finish Line: We start and end at Sole Syndicate Brewing. Once you’ve crushed those 3.1 miles, the party begins! Stick around for the official after-party with great brews, amazing company, and community spirit.

Every mile you run makes a direct impact on local families and youth. Join us in supporting the vital mission of the Ludlow Boys & Girls Club!
