CASPER, WY – Casper / Natrona County International Airport announced that it will host its first annual 5K Fun Run/Walk on Friday, June 16th.
Registration/Check-in starts at 5:30 pm with the run/walk beginning at 7 pm. Pre-registration is $10, day-of registration is $15, with kids 5 and under free. All proceeds for the event go to the Fly Casper Alliance Scholarship Fund. The Fly Casper Alliance Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit and has been established to offset the high cost of flight time for students at Casper College pursuing a Commercial Pilot License through the Aviation program. “We have been looking at hosting a fun run/walk for a few years,” said Glenn Januska, Airport Director. “Giving people an opportunity to run or walk on a runway, at the same time supporting the next generation of pilots is a win/win.”
The starting point for the run is on the south end of the terminal building. In addition, to the run/walk, food will be available from Papa’s Pork Chops, Papa Lombardi’s Italian Smoke House, and Iskream. Plus, DJ Nyke will be playing tunes, so there will be something for everyone, runners, walkers, or anyone wanting to cheer the others on!
2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
