What's the consequence of wondering off with your camrea? :lol:

Guys, I'm thinking I might actually do this. Anyone interested to join? C'mon, 5K is really not that long.

I'm thinking of doing this, but the last sentence on the "About" page was a little disappointing, "Runneres actually run on the longest Runway at JFK which is almost 14,000 feet, although only a short portion of the main runway is used for the 5K race." I was hoping to run the full runway plus a little extra to get to 5k. $18 to run around JFK airside and help a good cause works for me.

I think I am going to do this... anyone else going to? It'd be cool to meet some people from here!

Looks like there are some photo ops: http://www.jfkrunwayrun.org/5k05/5k05-112.jpg

Does anyone think JFK security might stop people from taking photos?

Hey guys,
New member from Sydney,Australia. Just wondering how the people are transported from the terminal to the runway in this run.
Thanks,
Fred

Hey Fred, it looks like the race actually starts from another building on the field. Check out http://www.jfkrunwayrun.org/where.htm. If you are interested in taking the AirTrain, it looks like it can be done but isn't recommended. The FAQ on the site has another map of where the building is.

I just registered today (You save a whopping $1 by pre-registering!) If anyone is running, let me know and we can arrange to meet up. I hope to see you all there.

So who all is going? I'm all set and registered too... wonder what the best way to find each other would be. Any thoughts?

**Winglets747** · 04-22-2006, 09:03 AM

Even with the 80% chance of rain, I think I'll still go unless it's a torrential downpour.

As for finding everyone, why not just look for all of the people with huge cameras? ;)

I'm actually planning on running this thing. How about we all meet at the helicopter landing zone at 8:15 - 8:30? (Bottom left hand corner of the picture.)
