Prepare for an unparalleled running experience at the Wings of Mercy Runway 5K, taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Linden, Michigan. This unique twilight event invites runners and walkers of all ages to conquer the flat, expansive runway and taxiways of Linden Price's Airport, offering a truly distinctive course that's rarely accessible to the public. Participants can choose between the competitive 5K run or walk, or opt for the free 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, making it a perfect outing for both serious athletes and families.

The Wings of Mercy Runway 5K promises an unforgettable evening as you run under the fading light, with the 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk kicking off at 8:00 PM EDT and the 5K at 9:00 PM EDT. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 79°F and lows near 57°F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a twilight dash. Beyond the unique setting, this race serves a profound cause, with all proceeds benefiting Wings of Mercy East Michigan, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free air transportation to distant medical centers for individuals facing financial limitations.

Adding to the excitement, the 2026 event features an upgraded, glow-in-the-dark finisher medal and a brand-new t-shirt design, celebrating your accomplishment and contribution to a worthy cause. Whether you're chasing a personal best on the smooth airport surface or enjoying a leisurely walk with loved ones, the Wings of Mercy Runway 5K offers an engaging atmosphere and the satisfaction of supporting a vital community service.
