from Wikipedia

Wittman Regional Airport covers an area of 1,392 acres (563 ha) at an elevation of 808 feet (246 m) above mean sea level. It has four paved runways: 18/36 is 8,002 by 150 feet (2,439 x 46 m); 9/27 is 6,179 by 150 feet (1,883 x 46 m); 5/23 is 3,423 by 75 feet (1,043 x 23 m); 13/31 is 3,061 by 75 feet (933 x 23 m).[2]

In developing their 2020 Master Plan, the airport studied the closure of either runway 5/23, 13/31, or possibly both.[13]

During EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, two additional temporary runways are in operation to accommodate the high volume of traffic of numerous aircraft sizes and types: a portion of Taxiway A to the east of runway 18/36 becomes Runway 18L/36R (Runway 18/36 is re-designated 18R/36L and shortened to 6,700 feet) and a small grass runway (1,200 x 100 feet (366 x 30 m)) on the southern end of the airport is used to host ultralight aircraft.[3][4] Runways 5/23 and 13/31 are closed during AirVenture.[4]
more runways than Avalon.
