Gateway to Space 10K
Gateway to Space 10K is a 10K and 5K road race held in Orlando, US, in March, although the running itself takes place near Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast.
Both distances are run on the runway of a former Space Shuttle landing site at Merritt Island, Florida. Runners gather at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex before heading to the site.
Because the venue is a federal facility, in-person entry is limited to US citizens aged 12 and over, and every entrant must pass a background check. A virtual option exists for anyone who cannot take part on site. The race raises money for the American Cancer Society.
