2020 – 5K Run the Runway at Hillman / Taste of Hillman Event
Message from Dave Morrison Special Events, Event Coordinator Dave Morrison
I would like to let the Local Communities know that I will NOT be hosting a 5K Run the Runway at Hillman / Taste of Hillman Even this year, most in part due to personal health reasons. I would like to encourage someone else in the community or some organization to step up and host this next year’s event. Last year’s event was a very successful event and mostly attended by people visiting the local areas (mainly people enjoying time at the local lakes). These are the people that the community of Hillman needs to reach out to in order to help grow their businesses. I would like to say “Thank You” to all of the individuals that helped make last year’s event so successful.
The 5K Run the Runway attracted over 100 runners, many traveled from around the United States to attend. The overall event saw between 500 to 600 people many whom enjoyed the Arts and Crafts and the Taste of Hillman, featuring some of our local restaurants. The restaurants representing Hillman were; Thunder Bay Resort, Highway Inn, Jack’s Landing Resort and Chauncey’s Pub / Hillman Dairy Queen. Each of them did an outstanding job and enjoyed a profitable day. The food offerings were fantastic.
The overall event was able to provide its benefactor, Wings of Mercy East Michigan with a check in the amount of $ 3,000 for their future Life
Saving flying missions.
I feel that “The Village of Hillman” and surrounding communities need an event like this to help keep visitors connected to our community and help it prosper.
Sincerely, Dave Morrison
