Wings of Mercy Runway 5k
The event is a series of twilight races held on the runway and taxiways of Linden Price Airport in Linden, Michigan. It includes a timed 5K run or walk, competitive 5K walk options, a virtual 5K option, and a separate 1 mile fun run or walk.
Entry options for the 5K and 5K competitive walk include a standard entry that provides chip timing with live results, a custom performance race shirt, a finisher medal, overall and age group awards, free race photos, and post-race refreshments. Economy entries are offered without a shirt and otherwise include chip timing, a finisher medal, awards eligibility, photos, and refreshments. The virtual 5K option allows participants to run or walk anywhere and submit results by the event closing time to be included in virtual results; virtual entries include a shirt and medal to be picked up at the race location with no shipping, and virtual participants are not eligible for in-person scoring or awards. The 1 mile fun run or walk is offered with no registration fee.
The event benefits Wings of Mercy East Michigan, Inc., a nonprofit that arranges free flights for people with limited financial resources to distant medical centers using volunteer pilots and general aviation aircraft, serving flights within approximately 600 miles of Eastern Michigan.
