Gear up for the CMH 5K: Taxiway takeover edition

The countdown is on! Our favorite annual event, the CMH 5K Run & Walk, is happening on Saturday, September 14. This year, we're switching things up with a unique "taxiway takeover" due to ongoing construction, which is paving the way for the new terminal. Same great fun, just a slightly different route!

We have been busy planning another great race, which supports Honor Flight Columbus. Here’s what you can look forward to this year:

• Fuel up with delicious donuts and coffee from Donna's Delicious Dozen.
• Strike a pose at the photo booth.
• Enter for a chance to win a roundtrip flight for two with Breeze Airways.

Before the big day, join us at a pre-race party at Edison Brewing Company on September 11 for packet pickup, food trucks, live music, and a silent auction. Can't make it? Support the cause by grabbing a bite at Chipotle on September 4 and showing them this flyer!

CMH is building for the future

A look at our operations

Aircraft tires leave behind rubber deposits that can affect runway safety. So, how do we keep our runways in top shape? 

Our crews use specialized equipment to blast away rubber buildup, ensuring optimal friction and a safe landing for every flight. Check out this mesmerizing video on our Instagram and TikTok to see the process in action! It's just one of the many ways we work behind the scenes to keep your travels smooth.
