​Experience the world-famous Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar Flight Line on foot at this unique opportunity where 5K participants will get the option to run or walk Miramar’s Flight Line. This is one of only two times a year we open the airfield to the public. This intimate experience will get you up close and personal with your Marines at your Air Station, and live entertainment by MCAS Miramar’s 3D MAW Band, Color Guard, and announcements made by the Installation Seargent Major.  

Check-in begins at 6:30 am, and the Flight Line 5K will begin promptly at 8:00 am. After the race, the fun continues on the Flight Line with post-race food trucks, music, static aircraft, and more. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.

All participants will receive a commemorative event t-shirt, a souvenir marine Corps Challenge Coin, and chip timing will be provided. Strollers are allowed on the course, and children 4 and under can participate for free.

If you registered by June 12th and reside in California, your race number will be mailed to you free of charge. If you registered after that date, you can pick up your race number on event morning. For groups with 25 or more participants, please email us for special registration rates!

Please note that only service animals are allowed on the base and at the event, and they must properly and clearly display that they are a service animal. The animal must be under the control of their owner at all times. Emotional support animals do not meet the threshold of a service animal, and it is the owner's responsibility to properly care for their service animal, especially on the hot tarmac.
