First I was a noted chatboard commentator, and now this.

More than 1,000 runners hit the pavement to celebrate the opening of the new Calgary Airport runway

“It seemed like a really unique opportunity — I don’t know of any other runs that take place on a runway,” said Jason Dorn, who was running the 8.4-km race with his wife, Karyann Dorn.

“In 30 years, when I’m taking off from the airport, I’ll be able to look out and say, ‘I ran that.’”

Karyann expected to run it quickly, considering it was a pretty flat route.

“It seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — there’s only one chance to be here before it’s operational.”
