The City of Albuquerque and the Sunport are hosting a special event at Double Eagle II – the first annual Run the Runway & Mutt Strut 5K Fun Run on April 19th. It is a fund raising event supporting CABQ Animal Welfare and EAA Chapter 179’s Young Eagles program.
- The event is being held at the old SAMS Academy building, 4100 Aerospace Parkway NW (south of the runways, off of the road to the Gun Range).
- The Fun Run will take place on Runway 17-35 with 500 runners expected to participate (check NOTAMS – 17-35 will be closed for the event, 4/22 will be open).
- There will be food trucks and booths at the old SAMS Academy building.
- The Chapter will have a presence – a booth and provide general support for the event. As Joyce Woods said, attendees “… will see airplanes up close and talk to pilots who love sharing their passion for aviation“.
