Narrative:
From the cargo ramp we were cleared to taxi to runway 20, about 500 yards away. I could see the end of the runway and taxiway, but had mistaken one for the other. As I turned the corner onto the runway, realizing my mistake, I commanded the first officer 'tell the tower we are on the runway.' ATC responded by clearing us across the runway to the taxiway. No conflict with traffic occurred. ATC made no mention of our mistake.
