Narrative:
We flew the RNAV approach to runway 13 in VMC conditions. We saw the runway from about 15 miles out. This was a first for me to this runway. There is also a taxiway charlie parallel to the left of the runway that from a distance looked awfully like a runway to us. So much that I made a comment not to land on it by mistake.upon getting closer to the runway; we noticed that the runway had only runway centerline markings and no runway edge markings. With a taxiway right next door that looks like a runway from far away and a runway with no runway edge markings; I thought this was a taxiway landing in the making. I asked the tower controller if the runway was in the process of being repainted; they answered in the negative. He said that the runway was like that as long as he remembered. There was nothing that I could find in the [company] pages; jeppesen or NOTAMS that mentioned the missing runway edge markings on runway 13.
