Run The Runway 5K - Traverse City

The TVC5K - Run The Runway is a unique 5K run/walk event taking place at the Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, Michigan. Scheduled for May 17, 2025, this charity race benefits Wings of Mercy, which provides free flights for families needing medical care. Participants will have the rare opportunity to run on a closed runway, experiencing aviation up close with access to various aircraft and emergency vehicles.

The event aims to raise awareness and funds for the charity while fostering interest in aviation among attendees. Last year, the event sold out, raising over $24,000 for the cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
