Paul Mengert, President of Association Management Group Interviewed with Melissa Painter at Fox 8 News to promote Run on the Runway. The event will be held on March 25, 2023, on the airport’s 9,000-foot parallel runway. This certified run will benefit The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Greensboro Urban Ministry, and Open Door Ministries of High Point.
Here are a few talking points from the interview and facts about the event.
This is the 14th annual Run on the Runway
The first run was held when the runway opened in 2010
As of this year have raised $1 million to fight hunger
Have raised over $130,000 this year over 50 sponsors.
Run committee raises the funds, then distributes them equally to Second Harvest, Greensboro Urban Ministries, and Open Door Ministries of High Point
We have about 1,500 people registered to run or walk to fight hunger and there is still time to participate. You can walk up and register on Saturday. Arrive early because participants are bused out to the runway and traffic gets backed up the closer it gets to race time.
Lenny Peters Foundation and Bethany Medical are presenting sponsors. Thanks to Lenny Peters Foundation and Bethany Medical for their support
Events are 10K/5K/Mile Run or Walk/5K untimed sponsored walk to raise additional money to fight hunger.
We may have a state record broken at the Run this year. Dot Sowerby is participating and turned 90 on March 16. If she runs as well as she did this past weekend she will break the NC USATF state record for 90-94-year-old women.
