5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Swartz Creek

5K On The RUNway führt Läufer und Walker auf die Startbahn am Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, für einen flachen, schnellen 5K an einem Samstagmorgen Anfang Oktober. Beim Hauptevent gibt es getrennte Starts für Läufer und Walker, und für die Kids gibt's einen eigenen Little Pilots Run, bevor das 5K-Feld startet. Die Location am Flughafen beeinflusst natürlich die ganze Logistik: Man parkt am Genesee Career Institute, geht durch die Sicherheitskontrolle mit Startnummer oder Zuschauerpass und nimmt einen MTA Shuttle zum Flughafengelände. Zuschauer brauchen kostenlose Pässe im Voraus, Nachmeldungen sind nicht möglich, Taschen müssen durchsichtig sein und Wasser gibt's nur im Ziel. Nach dem Lauf bringen Shuttles die Teilnehmer zurück zu Cider, Donuts und Verpflegung nach dem Lauf am Genesee Career Institute. Organisiert wird das Ganze von der Crim Fitness Foundation, die lokales Laufen mit einer gemeinnützigen Fitnessorganisation verbindet.
