The 1st Manila Airport Runway Run concluded last July 7, 2018 with about 3,000 runners who came to experience running on an actual airport runway. Due to the busy airport schedule, the race was scheduled to take place at 12 midnight of July 8.

The country's first run on the airport runway followed by musical performances to celebrate the inclusion of the Manila Airport Authority (MIAA) in the Top 10 Most Improved Airports of 2018 by Sky Trax.
