Are you making a runway for a real airplane? Because that is assuming you are basically making a small airport like in a small town where it has a small office and a hanger for the plane.

Building a 5,000-by-75-foot runway and accompanying ramp and taxiway that can accommodate a large-cabin business jet can cost $10 million or more in a colder climate once you factor in surveying, permitting, engineering, marking, designing a GPS instrument approach, and installation of lighting, a fuel farm, and a hangar.

If you are making a strip so you can do speed runs it will cost you much much less than that as you won't need the GPS stuff, lighting a fuel farm or a hanger.
 
I would use the runway only for rc speed runs

It's a smart investment..
That's what I would do , after I win the Mega Lotto! 🤣💥👍
Horseshoe Bay, TX! Love it.

Let us know when you get it, we can have a speed run party!

Apparently one can also rent a runway for ~$525 an hour. Max 15 people.
