Join us for the 6th edition of the Run The Runway at the Cherry Capital Airport benefiting the Wings of Mercy West Michigan
TVC5K “Run the Runway”. A 5K run/walk for charity held on the actual closed down north south runway of Cherry Capital Airport. Every year the outstanding team at TVC, Cherry Capital airport lets us shut down one runway and we get to run right down the middle of where the planes land and take off. Please come join us for a great event on a unique location few people get to experience. The purpose of this race is to raise awareness of Wings of Mercy in Northern Michigan. Wings of Mercy offers free flights to distant medical destinations for families who can’t afford to travel commercially. Since 1991, our volunteer pilots have donated over 8,000 flights to some of the best hospitals and treatment centers east of the Rocky Mountains. It has been our privilege to serve hundreds of patients from Traverse City and Northern Michigan, and we hope to make an even bigger impact in this region. I'm not only race director I am a volunteer pilot for Wings of Mercy. I flew patients almost 10,000 miles last year!
