The upcoming event marks the fourth of six virtual races in the series’s second season.
While the Air Force Marathon, held annually the third Saturday in September, features aircraft still in service, the History & Heritage Race Series highlights retired aircraft that gave wings to the Air Force’s legacy.
The fourth installment will begin July 1. Participants may run or walk the full marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K distance wherever they’d like, track it with a GPS device to confirm mileage and time, and upload their results.
All registered competitors will receive a commemorative patch, finisher’s medal portraying the XF-85 Goblin, aircraft information card, downloadable completion certificate and race bib.
